The amazing world of the brass bands is explored in this film: the guide is FRANK WOLFF , who plays in, and organises the City of Oxford Silver Band.

First in a series of seven films about the source of human abilities.

Vicki is a 29-year-old American woman who appears, speaks and moves normally, but has had her brain split in two by a surgical operation to combat her previously untreatable epilepsy. Now she has two half-brains and so one hand literally does not know what the other is doing. The right will choose different clothes to the left. She ends up talking to one of the hands or even smacking it.

Each side of Vicki's brain speaks and writes independently. Either she is two selves, one in each half brain, or the self is in one side of the brain, or perhaps the self is not inside the brain at all.
