In the glittering satire ‘Yes,’ the party rages on in Israel, while guilt is optional

Early in the film, we meet Y (Ariel Bronz), a tense but wiry man with a beard, who shares his unusual philosophy in a quiet voice. While biking along a Tel Aviv beach at sunset, he tells his baby son to surrender – to the sea, to simple pleasures like a winter shirt or a kind smile, and to do so as soon as possible. This is his way of coping with the overwhelming and constant news alerts about attacks that are causing him immense stress.
