In 1905 a nineteen-year-old girl is admitted into a psychiatric hospital in Zurich where she
has arrived from Russia in desperate condition. The girl suffers from a severe form of
hysteria and refuses to eat. A young doctor, Carl Gustav Jung, takes her under his care and,
for the first time ever, experiments with the psychoanalytical method of his teacher, Sigmund
Freud.
Thus is born a sweeping story of love and passion, of body and soul, which soars to the
heights but also plunges to the most terrible depths of the last century.
