The Secret of Dr. Grinberg tells the story of Mexican neurophysiologist, Jacobo Grinberg, considered by many as the “Einstein of consciousness”. He pushed the traditional boundaries of science in an attempt to better understand the potential of the human brain. With his team he investigated and conducted experiments which lead him to claim he could demonstrate the first steps of telepathy. In 1994 and at the height of his career Grinberg mysteriously disappeared. Through the film's investigation we unearth the peculiarities of this still unresolved case and meet the enigmatic characters who define it. Was Grinberg really on the frontier of a new kind of science that could transform the way we understand man and the universe?
