A film essay about the mysteries of consciousness and communication surrounding the figure of neurophysiologist and “psychonaut” John C. Lilly, a daring experimenter with dolphins and psychedelics. Lilly’s work carried him into realms of radical self-investigation, while his research also helped bring marine mammals into the collective dreamlife of the 20th century.
