Synopsis

Vivisection: (from Latin vivus, “alive” and sectio, “cutting”).
Grave-robbing! Cat dissections! Petticoats! Based on a bizarrely true story, this gruesome dramedy follows the Queen’s University medical class of 1884 as they adjust to the first lady students, new scientific ideas, and the marvelously mad world of Victorian medicine. (fringetoronto.com)
