Brief Explanation

The film is set in an operating theatre in a hospital. First, the surgical team prepares the patient for surgery, locking his head into a frame. A male voice explains that this procedure is one of the best options for a victim of Parkinson’s Disease. Then the surgeon cuts circles into the patient’s scalp, drills holes into his skull, and inserts electrodes into his brain. As the surgeon adjusts the electrodes, the camera moves around to reveal the patient’s face. He is wide awake, completely conscious, and still talking – it’s his voice we’ve been hearing all along. A series of graphics explain that there is no cure for Parkinson’s Disease and calls for donations.
