Synopsis:

Rob McGregor (Bryan Brown) is the charismatic owner of a popular Paddington bookshop living an open marriage with his academic wife Gretel (Cathy Downes), still holding onto the 60s spirit of 'free love'. While Gretel is pursuing an affair, Rob learns of the death of Lisa Blaine, a friend from the days they were both student activists more than a decade earlier. While seeking the reasons behind Lisa's suicide, Rob comes in contact with her friend Lou (Judy Davis), a prostitute and heroin user wrestling with her own personal demons. From very different worlds, the two are drawn together and when Rob rallies Lou to free herself from her drug addiction she temporarily moves into his house to go 'cold turkey', adding further strains to his already complicated life. But as their friendship develops, ever closer parallels emerge with Rob's earlier relationship with Lisa Blaine and he is forced to examine his own motives and to recognise the very different road his life has travelled since his days as a radical student. Nominated for 7 AFI Awards - winning for Judy Davis' outstanding performance and presented in a restored wide transfer, Winter Of Our Dreams is written and directed by internationally acclaimed filmmaker John Duigan and also features the screen debut of an eighteen-year-old Baz Luhrmann.

When a womanizing bookshop owner hears about the suicide of his former girlfriend, he tries to find out more and meats her friend, a prostitute. They hook up, but when she finds her friends diary, she discovers she's repeating her mistakes.

Rob (Bryan Brown), a bookshop owner, hears of the suicide of an old girlfriend Lisa (Margie McCrae). While investigating the case he meets Lou (Judy Davis), an old friend of Lisa's.
