By Liv Hege Nylund based on a novel by Karsten Alnæs. The monologue depicts the Russian jew and psychiatrist Sabina Spielrein who corresponded with Sigmund Freud and was the mistress of Carl Gustav Jung. Both men helped themselves to her ideas, while the nazis took her life. In many ways the life of Sabina reflects the ideological, psychological and philosophical contrasts of the last century.
