Yes

Following a national trauma, a down on his luck jazz musician named Y. struggles to make ends meet. His wife Yasmin, a dancer, trades art, pride and even intimacy with powerful patrons to ease the country's pain and keep their family afloat. The couple's bargains pull them into a world where art doubles as currency and relief is bought. When Y. is handed a task that could define a generation, he must translate a new national cry into music, a high stakes assignment that tests loyalty, creativity and the line between artistry and exploitation. The film follows their choices as they wrestle with fame, debt, and the pull of a nation demanding a soundtrack for its wounds. Tensions rise.

Directed by Nadav Lapid, Yes arrives in 2025 and seems to be an original screenplay rather than an adaptation. The cast includes Ariel Bronz as Y, Efrat Dor as Yasmin, Naama Preis as Leah, Aleksey Serebryakov as the Big Billionaire.

As of now, box office figures for Yes have not been released publicly, so no worldwide gross or studio total can be cited. Industry watchers will look to festival screenings for a sense of audience response worldwide.

At present there are no major awards announced for Yes. The film has drawn attention for its provocative blend of drama and humor and for Nadav Lapid's shift toward intimate character study. Some anticipate festival consideration and conversations around its portrayal of gender, wealth, and national myth making and statehood.

Reception may hinge on how the film treats art and power after a national trauma. Yes looks at the cost of selling beauty to soothe a nation, and at whether music can heal or complicate a society still seeking its anthem. The blend of drama and dry wit invites questions about truth for viewers.
