The Tobacconist
Synopsis
Seventeen-year-old Franz journeys to Vienna to
apprentice at a tobacco shop. There he meets
Sigmund Freud, a regular customer, and over time
the two men form a singular friendship. When
Franz falls desperately in love with the music-hall
dancer Anezka, he seeks advice from the renowned
psychoanalyst, who admits that the female sex is as
big a mystery to him as it is to Franz. As political and
social conditions in Austria dramatically worsen with
the Nazis' arrival in Vienna, Franz, Freud, and Anezka
are swept into the maelstrom of events. Each has a
big decision to make: to stay or to flee? Based on the international bestseller by Robert Seethaler.
