The film’s synopsis reads:

September 1939: Days after Hitler invades Poland and as the threat of German bombs shakes England, Sigmund Freud (Anthony Hopkins) watches the world go mad. After fleeing Nazi forces invading his homeland, Freud has brought his family from Vienna to London, where he is visited by Oxford author and theologian CS Lewis (Matthew Goode). Lewis – whose books The Chronicles of Narnia would later gain worldwide acclaim – is an atheist-turned-Christian who now hopes to engage with the “father of psychoanalysis” on the divide between science and religion, faith and logic, and how study of the mind may lose the way of the soul. Through a colorful, sometimes contentious, day-long debate, the two work to see each other’s points of view. As Britain enters World War II, Freud’s daughter Anna (Liv Lisa Fries) reconciles hard truths within himself and his career as an analyst, and Freud faces the cancer that will soon be the cause of his death.

It looks like it will be a fascinating look into the lives and minds of these famous men. Check out the trailer below and watch Freud’s last session in select US theaters on December 22.
