Vienna, 1930. After 500 years of marriage to the vain Elsa, Count von Kozsnom has lost his thirst for life. Fortunately, the great Sigmund Freud is taking new patients and suggests the Count appease the Countess, unable to see her own reflection, by commissioning a portrait of her by Viktor, a young painter. But after seeing Viktor’s headstrong girlfriend Lucy, the Count becomes convinced she’s the reincarnation of his one true love and it isn't long before the whole crowd is a hilarious mess of mistaken identities and misplaced affections.
