Both Etgar Keret’s short stories and the anecdotes from his own life, share the fact that they are very relatable despite their incredible absurdities. True to his style, this inventive documentary explores Keret’s unique storytelling. Blending documentary filmmaking, animation, fact, fiction, lies and love for the arts, the film follows Keret from his inner circle in Tel Aviv to a New York book tour. His filmmaker wife Shira, childhood friends and famous colleagues such as Jonathan Safran Foer and Ira Glass all have a favorite story about Keret to share. This film reminds us why we tell stories and why they matter.

He didn’t expect this from me. And I hadn’t expected that we would decide to get married that day, at that moment. Everything happened all of a sudden, but exactly like it was supposed to happen in our day. We thought of the idea of marriage simultaneously, we smiled simultaneously, blinking and opening our eyes in unison.
