Plot
In the early twentieth century, the young Italian-born Emilia Schmidt leads a comfortable life in Switzerland, with her husband and little son Ludwig, but shows from time-to-time signs of mental imbalance.
She is admitted to a luxurious clinic in Zürich, where she receives the diagnosis of schizophrenia due to her behavior, thus being defined as "wicked". However, Professor Gustav, a young assistant to the clinic's head physician, Professor Brokner, becomes passionate about her case; using the innovative research of Dr. Sigmund Freud, he is able to partially cure her. This allows Emilia to leave the clinic, not completely cured, but released from her neuroses and confident in Gustav's promise to continue monitoring her health in the future.
