Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid thinks sometimes movies can change history; other times they simply narrate it.With his latest production, which hits US theaters Friday, the filmmaker has set himself a different goal."I hope 'Yes' shakes people's souls," he said.The chaotic satire -- which premiered in Europe last year -- follows musician Y (Ariel Bronz) and dancer Yasmin (Efrat Dor), a young couple in Tel Aviv who raise their newborn son during the day, while entertaining at wild fetish parties for the wealthy by night.
