In 1913 Vienna, Freud meets Hitler — and the patient of his nightmares

JL;DR SUMMARY Set in 1913 Vienna, the film V13, directed by Richard Ledes and based on a play by Alain Didier-Weill, explores a speculative encounter between Sigmund Freud and a young Adolf Hitler.

But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
