Peter, a psychotherapist, and Suzanne, a professional dominatrix, have been meeting once a week for over two years. In the privacy of a dungeon room in an S & M house, Suzanne delicately pierces, prods and ultimately soothes Peter as they engage in sensual dominance and submission reenactments.
"Cheerfully baring every inch of a body Brad Pitt could be proud of, this 62-year old Welshman(Roger Rees) plays Peter, a married therapist who becomes overly attached to his dominatrix.....your opinion of 60-something nudity will be altered beyond belief."
