Narration in of philosophical style scipt
This is a narration for a short video/movie. I have been told it is in an abstract style, but I find it to be more philosophical than abstract. I have considered using "interdependence" "interrelation" "reciprocity" here because "exchange" does not sound right in English. But would any of these words be too far removed from the source term? Is there something better?
The context reads:
"Pour être tout à fait honnête, j’aimerais que l’on ait une relation juste, d’égal à égal, sinon elle ne durera pas. Tout ce qui possède en soi une inégalité finit toujours pas s’effondrer. Je veux que l’échange soit plus bénéfique."

a suggestion...
I agree with you that 'exchange' doesn't really work here, and presumably you will already have used 'relationship', otherwise I'd suggest that as another possibility

sometimes 'dialogue' can also work, but I think that wouldn't apply in this case
