The mere description of the movie (a title at the start of which declares, "This is a true story") suggests the remarkably complex interweave of subjects and themes that flow through it: war, religion, exile, colonial politics, the American West, the medical mystery, and, of course, psychoanalysis itself—which brings in its wake the skein of personal, emotional, and familial experiences that it unravels.
