The story

What Is Why? About?

The premise of Why? without spoilers.

The film follows a 40-year-old director, Yoav, who is asked to write about a powerful cinematographic image for “Cahiers du Cinéma”. Through a series of recollections, Yoav revisits his first experience with Pasolini’s *Teorema* while serving as a soldier in the Israeli army. Director Nadav Lapid uses this premise to create an alter ego and explore moments that profoundly influenced Yoav’s life. It’s a deeply personal film that highlights the immense potential within cinema.
