Story
Initially, the film was dumb (in the literal sense of the word), since the camera that Kronenberg was shooting made too much noise , but subsequently Kronenberg imposed a sound plot component on the image that made it possible to interpret the students' absurd but absurdities and jokes in strange student interiors the town of Toronto University as a fantastic story about a research institute, where in the near future strange experiments are carried out on a group of people in the field of sexuality and telepathy . A text read by several people is excerpts from scientific reports and test results in which the name of the mysterious scientist Dr. Luther Stringfellow, which is not shown to the viewer, pops up. The outcome of the story is sad - many of the subjects go crazy or become emotionally unbalanced and aggressive.
