At the onset of World War II, the dying Sigmund Freud has a discussion at home with a young noted Oxford don.
...whom for the purposes of this film is C.S. Lewis, at the early days of his writing prior to the Narnia series, and also the subject of Shadowlands, with Anthony Hopkins now switching over to the role of a slightly Welsh-accented Dr. Freud, but done with his usual dignity and power, in a generally thoughtful and moving talk piece about mortality and belief, with some minor probing into both characters' private lives, and a reasonably gloomy but correct depiction of the period.
