Wilhelm Reich, a pioneering psychiatrist and scientist, faces trial late in life for alleged deception. His relentless pursuit of human freedom positions him as a threat to a post-1945 America intent on global dominance. The film questions whether Reich's belief in individual liberty was visionary or misguided, highlighting his holistic insights into socio-political dynamics. A decade after his enigmatic death, Reich's censored writings resurface, igniting inspiration among the rebellious youth of the 1968 generation. Novotny & Novotny craft a thought-provoking narrative that explores the clash between radical ideas and societal norms.
