Set in Vienna on the eve of the First World War, the film explores the complex relationship between novice psychiatrist Carl Jung and his mentor Sigmund Freud. Studying under the already well-established Freud, Jung practices his teacher’s methods while developing his own theories based on the clinical study of psy­chologically disturbed patients. When a sick young Russian woman arrives at the clinic, both Jung and Freud are fascinated by her case and spellbound by her vulnerable yet dangerous sexuality. Sharp-witted dialogue and a pristine turn-of-the-century-Vienna setting add a refined tone to a film that explores the anything-but-civilized depths of human desire. TIFF
