Plot summary
In eighteenth century Vienna, Franz Anton Mesmer works as a physician. He believes that a force inside the body, which he names animal magnetism, can cure physical and mental illness. His treatments appear to help only troubled young women, who respond with ecstasy to his caressing touch. He treats Maria Theresa Paradies, a blind teenager, and her sessions with him offer an escape from her father, who has raped her.
