Imagine jumping off a bridge, only to wake up on a mad scientist’s table with your own unborn baby’s brain literally inside your head. No cap, this is the wildest and most controversial movie ever created.
A scientist discovers the fresh corpse of a pregnant woman[cite: 581]. He extracts the infant, transplants the baby’s brain into the mother’s skull, and revives her with electricity[cite: 582]. Now named Bella, she has a grown body but the mind of a literal infant[cite: 590]. She runs away with a sleazy lawyer named Duncan to explore the world[cite: 646, 660]. Bella’s lack of a social filter and uncontrollable free will completely breaks Duncan’s mind, driving him to tears[cite: 671, 684]. Eventually, Bella encounters her original, highly controlling husband, Alfie[cite: 758, 772]. In the ultimate act of unhinged revenge, she transplants a goat’s brain into his head, turning him into a harmless pet[cite: 777, 779].
