Lapid (Policeman, Footsteps in Jerusalem, The Kindergarten Teacher) turns his experiences as an ex-pat Israeli who dreamed of becoming French into this fish-out-of-water comedy/drama that serves as a meditation on identity (national and otherwise). Intentionally discombobulated and episodic; its allegorical nature keeps us at a removed distance.
