Shy Diego struggles with low self-esteem, until he has a serious accident and wakes up as Tony T, a totally uninhibited free-spirited stuntman. A typical case of Frontal Syndrome? Certainly an ideal case study for young and ambitious neurologist Jaana, who wants to prove that the syndrome can be cured with experimental brain surgery.
But Tony doesn’t want to be cured right away. He becomes a top stuntman and wins the respect of his family. Women find it hard to resist Tony’s disarming straightforwardness. Except that one woman Tony feels increasingly attracted to: Jaana.
Tony’s dilemma grows when he notices his exuberant behaviour is getting him more and more enemies: his brother, who fears he is being outshined, his mother, who thinks Tony starts ressembling her ex, and his father, who fears his young new wife likes Tony a bit too much. And then there is professor Vandewoestijne, Jaana’s supervisor, who fancies Jaana and believes the faster sexy Tony is operated on, the better.
Shall Tony choose for the operation that makes him Diego again?
Dirty Mind is a tragic comedy about neurological determination, about love as a symptom and about the fine line between manly behaviour and behavioural disorder.
