Sabina has come to Zurich from Russia to be treated by Dr. Carl Gustav Jung at the University Psychiatric Clinic – and becomes his lover. 
Fritz, a carpenter’s son, dreams of building a better society. He pushes Switzerland to the brink of revolution, and later in Russia he saves Lenin’s life.
Sabina and Fritz are courageous, torn, full of contradictions; both ceaseless breakers of new ground. Their paths interweave and mirror one another – even as they slip away into the darkness of European history.
