A tender, heart breaking story about a young man and his friendship with Sigmund
Freud during the Nazi occupation of Vienna. Seventeen-year-old Franz journeys to
apprentice at a tobacco shop. There he meets Sigmund Freud (Bruno Ganz), a costumer,
and over time the two men form a singular friendship. When Franz falls desperately
in love with the music hall dancer Anezka, he seeks advice from the renowned
psychoanalyst, who admits that the female sex is as big a mystery to him as it is to
Franz.
