After October 7th, Y, an eccentric and politically engaged jazz musician, experiences a revelation. The time has come for him to be good and generous toward his bleeding country. No longer will he be an alienated artist. Together with his wife, Jasmine, an ex-dancer, he will provide joy, fun, consolation. He will give his art, his soul, and his body. Y devotes himself entirely to this new horizon. Unsurprisingly, he is soon granted a prestigious mission: To compose the melody for a new national anthem for the Israel born out of this tragedy, an anthem of violence and vengeance.
