Y., an Israeli filmmaker, travels to a remote desert region to present his latest film in a local library. As he gets off the plane, he is greeted by the young chairwoman of the Israeli public libraries, a native of the region, who asks him to sign a new form affirming his loyalty to the government and its policies. Y. frenzily throws himself into an uncompromising battle in a desperate attempt to save freedom of speech in his country, Israeli democracy, and the Israeli people from themselves. A combat that will call for sacrificing the young chairwoman of the librairies. In the midst of his maneuvers, he sends affectionate video messages to his mother who is dying of lung cancer.Two battles doomed to fail: one against the death of freedom, the other against the death of a mother.
