“You can’t X-ray what I’ve got,” screams Michaela (Sandra Huller), a devout Catholic woman in early ’70s Germany, who suffers seizures and experiences demonic visions. Diagnosed as an epileptic, the 21-year-old student flushes her medication down the sink, and believes her suffering is God’s way of testing her faith.
