There are times where seeds of self-destruction can be implanted. Those are the moments where one discovers a self that is unworthy of his status. Maybe it is the selfishness, egoism, the cowardice, fear, the irresponsibility. The discovery of an ugly self that is undeniably a true one. And what is more unfortunate is that this person is good-hearted at his root.
This seems contradictory, but all I can say is it can truly happen. The struggle of the main character is not whether to become a better person, because the mere thought already suggests his lack of authenticity towards himself and others. The real struggle is whether he should be so selfish (as he believes) to keep them around, to keep faking a non-self or should he pick up the courage of leaving what he loves at their best.
It is like the only good play is to punish himself, to go against all his hopes that he for a second thought reduces into an egoistic self-preservation in disguise. There is no place to reverse the negative to a positive.
I had never seen a presentation of such psychology in a movie before. It is too subtle. This movie does an excellent job in this regard.
The ending is on point and provoking. For Yoav, it is for his bravery that he leaves, for the greater good of the people who love him and who he loves, even if this is not the case in the eyes of other people. A psychological disease. A deep-down self-deprecation.
