Breakdown
After escaping the Nazis in Vienna, legendary psychiatrist Dr. Sigmund Freud invites young, little known Professor C.S. Lewis to his home in London. Lewis expects to be called on the carpet for satirizing Freud in a recent book, but the dying Freud has a much more significant agenda. On the day England entered World War II, Freud and Lewis clash on the existence of God, love, sex and the meaning of life only two weeks before Freud chose to take his own life.
SEEKING:
Sigmund Freud: Actual age 83; may be cast significantly younger. Found of modern psychiatry. Intellectually relentless, Freud uses his wit as a weapon. Though dying of cancer, Freud summons all his strength in this battle of beliefs he has dedicated his life to.
C.S. Lewis: age 40; Christian convert and Oxford Don teaching medieval literature who has not yet achieved the fame he did later in life. Freud’s intellectual equal, Lewis relishes the confrontation between their contrasting world views.
