implanted in his brain. The mechanism, which is endowed with
special X-ray properties, is activated by the user's eyes. Keitel is
assigned by ruthless TV producer Harry Dean Stanton to secretly
probe the subconscious of a dying woman, played by Romy
Schneider. Stanton is only interested in the grim spectacle of what
goes on inside the brain of someone who knows she's doomed.
Keitel, on the other hand, becomes increasingly compassionate
and disgusted by the tawdriness of his assignment as he stares
into Schneider's tortured psyche.
