"House of the Spirits" meets "Brave New World" in
this conversation between a spiritualist medium
(Annie) from the past, her neuroscientist seventh
generation descendent (Isabelle) from the future, and
Honor, a psychiatrist, who lived in the present time.
Meeting in dreams stimulated by a miracle psychiatric

worries and pre-occupations, despite the very
different times they live in. At the end, we see the
surprising ways in which their stories are connected.
