This film admits viewers to a private world where few were privileged to enter. It is based on the historic pictures taken by Edmund Engelman, just before Sigmund Freud fled to England to escape Nazi rule. Freud created an extraordinary environment at 19 Berggasse that enriched and stimulated him as he worked. This tour of the birthplace of psychoanalysis travels past his famous couch and book-lined study just as his patients and colleagues saw them decades ago. The highlight of the film is Freud's collection of antiquities and the parallel drawn between his interest in archaeology and his own explorations into the past.
