A darkly absurdist satire about artistic compromise and complicity, where a couple's surrender to power becomes both a tragicomic descent and a pointed critique of institutional corruption.

In the days following October 7, Y., a jazz musician, and his wife Yasmin, a dancer, resolve to say yes to everything. Y. and Yasmin sell their bodies and souls to the highest bidder, surrendering themselves and their art to Israel’s social, political and military elite. Soon, Y. is entrusted with a mission of the utmost importance: to compose the music for a rousing, ruthless new national anthem.
