Simon background

Simon

A psychology professor becomes the unwitting subject of a brainwashing experiment, only to be convinced that he is actually an alien from another world.

The Institute for Advanced Concepts, led by Dr. Carl Becker, has unlimited resources to conduct research on controlling and manipulating the world. Their latest project involves brainwashing a psychology professor, Dr. Simon Mendelssohn, into believing he's an alien. The goal is to unleash him into the world and observe the consequences. Dr. Becker and his team choose Simon due to his unknown origins and fascination with sensory deprivation. They use a seductive associate, Dr. Cynthia Mallory, to ensure Simon's compliance. However, Simon's girlfriend, Lisa, a music professor, may uncover the truth and challenge the Institute's plans.
