In many myths, the hero must undergo a sea voyage at night in which he encounters mysterious beings and dangerous situations. The psychologist Carl Gustav Jung went on such a voyage of discovery himself, questioning the world of symbols and archetypes for their meaning for our lives. Above all, he discovered the creative richness of our unconscious, the healing potential of archetypes and symbols, which - if handled correctly - can lead us to a more complete life. Sünner's film is a cinematic journey into C. G. Jung's biography and into the powerful world of myths, dreams and symbols. He outlines Jung's theories, for example of the collective unconscious and the teaching of archetypes, and places them in a social and cultural context.
