Unlike a traditional biography, this series leans heavily into and surrealism . It portrays Freud not as a calm academic, but as a flawed protagonist battling his own addictions and the skepticism of the medical establishment. The production is noted for its atmospheric cinematography and intense, dream-like sequences that mirror the "mystery of the soul" Freud seeks to solve.
Before he became a world-renowned figure, Sigmund Freud was a struggling doctor using controversial methods like hypnosis. He teams up with a traumatized war veteran, Inspector Alfred Kiss, and a powerful psychic medium, Fleur Salomé, to track down a serial killer whose crimes seem linked to a high-level conspiracy.
