Overview

Moscow, 1934. At the end of his life, anticipating his imminent departure, at the request of his loved ones, Lev Vygotsky agrees to several psychoanalytic sessions with the grand lady of world psychology, a student of Freud and Jung, Sabine Spielrein. Adhering to largely opposite views, two great scientists are trying to answer each other the main question of their time — is there a method to educate a "new person"?
