This adaptation of the memoirs of Amos Oz, one of Israel's most lauded writers, is set against the backdrop of the end of the British Mandate for Palestine and the early years of the State of Israel. The film details the young man's relationship with his mother (Natalie Portman) and his beginnings as a writer, while looking at what happens when the stories we tell become the stories we live.
