Yoav, a young Israeli, turns up in Paris, hopeful that France and the French language will save him from the madness of his country. Synonyms is an exciting, sensual and piercing work, a direct and combative satire. With Tom Mercier’s bare performance and Shai Goldman’s brilliant camerawork, Synonyms was Berlinale’s big winner.
