"The film follows Freud's descent into a region almost as black as Hell itself--man's unconscious--as he develops the notion that neurosis stems from sexual repression. By treating patients with various issues, including a woman haunted by recurring dreams and a man with an Oedipus complex, Freud experiences epiphanies that lead to the birth of modern analysis, despite the scorn his theories initially receive from his colleagues"--Container.
