Jewish Book & Arts Fair: A Tale of Love and Darkness

Natalie Portman makes her directorial debut in her extraordinary adaptation of Amos Oz’s bestselling memoir.

New immigrants to pre- and early-state Israel are still shaking off the horrors of the Holocaust while working to build a new homeland. Multilayered, touching and beautifully rendered, the film takes the viewer into a fleeting moment in Israeli history through a deeply personal lens. 

Portman also stars in the film, portraying Fania, Oz’s mother.
