Sir Isengord tells the story-in a roundabout, nearly nonsensical way-of a professor who traps his consciousness in a little black box after his death in the 1800s. The movie makes real the elements of the meme's cerebral universe, giving Sir Isengord a classroom, the black box that holds his mind, and a present-day team of fake scientists investigating his ideas and life. The professor himself speaks as a hologram created by an old-school transparency projector.
