Winner of the Golden Bear for Best Feature at the Berlin Film Festival, the Israeli-French comedy Synonyms is a funny movie about the existential angst of an expat.

Newcomer Tom Mercier plays Yoav, a disaffected young Israeli who flees Tel Aviv for Paris to start a new life. Desperate to erase his origins, Yoav sees France as his only hope for salvation. He vows not to utter a single word of Hebrew, his French dictionary becoming his constant companion. He is swiftly befriended by a strange young French couple who enmesh him in a very Parisian love triangle.

Based on writer-director Nadav Lapid’s (The Kindergarten Teacher) own experiences, Synonyms explores the challenges of putting down roots in a new place.
