'The Soul Keeper' (; ) is a 2002 Italian-French-British romance-drama film directed by Roberto Faenza. It is loosely based on real life events of Russian psychoanalyst and physician Sabina Spielrein and notably on her therapeutic and sentimental relationship with fellow psychoanalyst Carl Gustav Jung.
Plot
Marie and Fraser, two young scholars, respectively French and Scottish, get to know each other while they are both in Moscow to research the life of the Russian psychoanalyst Sabina Spielrein. The two researchers reconstruct Sabina's life together, starting with her hospitalisation in Zrich in 1904 for a serious form of hysteria.
There the patient meets the young doctor Carl Gustav Jung, who, using the new methods of psychoanalysis developed by Freud, will be able to cure her. Sabina begins to take an interest in psychoanalysis herself, and begins an intense love affair with Jung. However, discovering that her beloved Carl, married and with two children, although in love with her is trapped to moral doubts, Sabina provokes a scandal. The two finally separate.
