Unconscious (Spanish: Inconscientes) is a 2004 period comedy film directed by Joaquín Oristrell starring Leonor Watling and Luis Tosar, also featuring Mercedes Sampietro, Juanjo Puigcorbé, Núria Prims and Alex Brendemühl in supporting roles.

Set in 1913 Barcelona and displaying the popularization of the theories of psychoanalysis as a backdrop,[1] the plot follows the pregnant wife of a renowned Freudian psychiatrist who enlists the help of her admiring brother-in-law to uncover the elaborate mystery of why her husband ran away from home.

In 1913 Barcelona, Alma Mira, nine-months pregnant, is abandoned without explanation by her eminent psychiatrist husband, Dr. Leon Pardo, after his return from study with Dr. Freud in Vienna, which left him distraught.

The witty and beautiful Alma enlists the help of her sister's husband, the dispassionate, repressed psychiatrist, Dr. Salvador Pitfarré, to help her solve the mystery of Leon's fugue state.

For clues to the mystery, Alma and Salvador consult Leon’s thesis, The Hysterical Woman: Four Cases, based on Freudian theories applied to four patients: Tórtula, Pastora, Señora Ducati, and Noel.

TÓRTULA, star of pornographic films, appealed to Leon to pay off blackmailers and retrieve a locket containing proof of her sexual relationship with King Alfonso XIII.

Digging deeper, Alma and Salvador determine that Leon is “Noel” (his name backwards), acting in both the roles of doctor and patient and embracing his bisexuality.

Leon now blames Sigmund Freud for all his problems: He is a masochist, an exhibitionist, a drug addict, corrupt, a transvestite, son of a prostitute, and his father’s son-in-law; he impregnated his sister and harbors unrequited love for his best friend—Salvador Pitfarré.
