Gottfried Helnwein & the Dreaming Child is a documentary that explores what happens when the Austrian artist Gottfried Helnwein takes on the role of Production Designer for the never-before-seen opera "The Dreaming Child" in Tel Aviv, Israel in 2010, written by Israel's most famous playwright, Hanoch Levin. For Helnwein, the child has always been the symbol of innocence and innocence betrayed, a motif that persists throughout much of his work. But when the Israeli Opera creative team casts an adult to play the lead child, Helnwein must fight to preserve the opera's integrity and Levin's original vision.
