Einstein has vivid dreams...

Berne, Switzerland, 1905: Einstein is a modest patent clerk in a new marriage, struggling to make ends meet while finishing his Theory of Relativity. Einstein's Dreams whimsically creates time-tangled, absurd and poetic worlds that illustrate the tragedy and beauty of the human condition.
