MovieDocumentary
At 61, Steve leads a seemingly ordinary routine life. But behind this facade hides a much more complex universe: that of BDSM, where the body becomes a field of pleasure and exploration of submission. This anthropologically inspired documentary paints an intimate portrait of this man who, through his fantasies, seeks to redefine his relationship with the body, desire and his deep identity. By diving into his most abstract motivations, the film questions what this quest for control… and abandonment reveals.
