Is That You? is complete.
Having just been dismissed from his job and given a ticket to the US as part of his severance, Roni (Alon Aboutboul) decides to use the opportunity to seek out his long-lost love, Rachel (Suzanne Sadler), whose 60th birthday is a few days away. His first stop is his car leasing agent brother, who provides him with a car and sends him on his way.
Soon the car breaks down, and auto mechanic-turned-filmmaker Myla (Naruna Kaplan de Macedo) offers to help Roni if she can interview him for her documentary about regrets. He accedes and the two take off together in Mylas van to find Rachel.
They stop at various points along the way, including a motel where they are predictably robbed and are compelled to make the rest of the trip in western wrangler garb. They part at the Canadian border Myla doesnt have her passport with her after Myla gives Roni her camera and asks him to complete her film for her. He agrees on the condition that Myla asks her parents if they regretted having her.
Roni eventually finds Rachel at her 60th birthday party, where he — a mystery guest — reveals himself to her. They rekindle their love as Rachel reveals that shes dying of a terminal illness. Roni spends her last days with her and finishes the film by filming Myla reconciling with her parents.
