Inspired by Amos Oz's memoir A Tale of Love and Darkness, this eloquent documentary opens a window into the mind of one of Israel's most acclaimed and controversial authors. Often cited as a voice of reason and compassion as well as a staunch advocate of peaceful coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians, Oz has been at the forefront of Israel's struggle for identity. Cameras follow Oz for 2 years, as he walks the hilltops of Jerusalem and the streets of Tel Aviv, travels on an international book tour, meets with readers and colleagues, and dispatches advice to political leaders.  Throughout, he muses on the complicated meanings of Zionism and its imprint on his personal biography. AMOS OZ: THE NATURE OF DREAMS is a poetic and intimate portrait of an intellectual whose keen insight illuminates a nation forged in the crucible of a difficult, painful history.
