A Tale of Love and Darkness
An intimate, melancholic portrait of a young boy's formative years in pre-statehood Jerusalem, caught between his parents' conflicting temperaments and the turbulent historical moment.
The story of young Amos Oz, growing up in Jerusalem in the years before Israeli statehood with his parents; his academic father, Arieh, and his dreamy, imaginative mother, Fania.
