Summary

Peter is schizophrenic. He has recently been released from a hospital, and lives in his car. Before his condition developed, he was married, and now he wants to see his daughter Nicole. His stern, disapproving mother refuses to tell him what has happened to the girl. His belief that "receivers and transmitters" are within his body makes his quest more than difficult. One consequence of his troubled behavior is the police detective tracking down a serial killer, who may or may not be Peter. This unorthodox, non-linear narrative successfully creates, for the viewer, an idea of what schizophrenia is like, inspiring understanding for this suffering man who fights to retain his love for his child
