Plot Summary
Narration and re-enactments bring to life the story of Sabina who, as a teenager, had a breakdown and was one of Carl Jung's early psychiatric patients, eventually becoming his lover, then entering the field herself. Her career contributions were largely forgotten, until the discovery of a box of her papers and diaries in 1977.
Director: Elisabeth Márton
Genres: Documentary
