He daren't to look up the sky, he daren’t to see the same one.

Nomadism

Scarcity of the recognition of Israel, he came to France, the country is the synonym of liberty, equity, fraternity. As a member of the nomadic tribe to plunge into the territory of freedom., he worships french is the god's tongue and bought the french dictionary as the bible to take everywhere. He stands on the crossroad of different cultures and become a hybrid. Israelis have the tradition of nomadism, they have a great aptitude to adapt to a new environment. Nostalgia maybe never in their dictionary and the identity never exists in their ideology, they can leave when they feel the intension between their mind and the outside circumstance and they will back when they tired of strolling.

The civil war is the catalyst for the host to make the pilgrimage to France, like the other countries' refugees, he wants to start the new life from scratch. Saving money for daily expenses and do some disgraceful jobs to maintain break even. He is a typical example of a refugee in nowadays' Europe, eager to have a sense of belonging in the new cultural environment.

Intruder

He met the other Israel guy who had the same job with him and became the intimate comrade. they drunk in the club chatted with the locals, on the subway they sang the anthem of Israel, But no one, had any reactive and respands, they show how isolated and be neglected by the surroundings. What they can do was joined the divinity organization and smash the new fascism to resist the indifference and prejudice.

He had nothing only his looks not bad body, the masculine muscle physique is his first and only bucket of gold in there and also the reason why the couple wants to rescue him from the danger of death. What he can take advantage of is to use his stories to satisfy the guy's writing inspiration and his succulent body for the girl’s mental orgasm. He also wants to cater to the eccentric hobby of the producer because his body is the only treasure he has and make the swap with the material life. Nude is the ticket for him to have the qualification to live in the country.

When he sang the anthem of France in the classroom with all the other candidates to take the preparation to integrate into the society, When he eligible to marry the girl and got the eternal residence right to live in the society, hardly can he feel any identity recognition and the sense of belonging. So he got insane in the music hall and asked the questions what he recited in the classroom to the public but only gained the same silence as he experienced in the bar and metro. His body can be and only can be the merchandise in the country but his soul would wait in the outdoor forever like the movie's ending.
