Synopsis
After suffering an inexplicable seizure, which leaves her paralyzed on her right side, 19-year-old Augustine is shipped off to Paris' all female psychiatric hospital Pitié-Salpêtriere which specializes in detecting the then-fashionable ailment of "hysteria." Augustine captures the attention of Dr. Charcot after a seizure, which appears to give her intense physical pleasure. Intrigued, he begins using her as his principal subject, hypnotizing her in front of fellow doctors - as she displays her unusual fits in lecture halls - eventually blurring the lines between doctor and patient.
