Synopsis

A young man discovers that not only has he the ability to read minds, but also that if he holds a camera next to his head he can transmit the thoughts he sees onto film. He strikes a deal with a wealthy businessman to use his powers, with two conditions: that he will make enough money for a sex-change operation; and that under no circumstances shall his powers be used for military purposes. Things don't work out quite the way he planned.
