Overview

My Name Was Sabina Spielrein is a mesmerizing docudrama that explores the poignant and complex love affair between Carl Jung and his first patient, Sabina Spielrein, revealed through a surprising discovery of letters and diaries in Switzerland. The film weaves these historical documents with dramatic re-enactments and evocative, dream-like imagery to tell the story of a remarkable woman whose legacy has been overshadowed in a history dominated by men.

Celebrated with the FIPRESCI Prize at the Sochi International Film Festival, this film blends human drama with psychological depth in a poetic style that captivates and moves audiences. The narrative also includes perspectives from Sigmund Freud, illuminating the intersections of early psychoanalysis and personal relationships.
