SYNOPSIS

Jennifer   Connelly   stars   as   Jennifer   Corvino,  the daughter of an
American film star, who enrolls   in   a   prestigious   Swiss   boarding
school  under  the  tutelage  of  the  prudish Mrs. Bruckner (played by
frequent Argento  collaborator   and   former   beau   Daria   Nicolodi).
Possessing    a    unique    telepathic    gift,    Jennifer   is capable of
communicating with insects  on   an   instinctive   level,   often   while
sleepwalking.  This  trait  soon  brands  her a freak among her snooty
classmates  but  makes  her  a  valuable  asset  to  entomologist  Dr.
MacGregor   (Donald   Pleasence),   who   is  currently employing the
innate forensic skills of insects to aid police in tracking a  serial  killer
targeting the boarders at Jennifer's school.
