Abstract:
“Near the beginning of the 20th century in St Petersburg, a man named Johann and his assistants specialize in the production of erotic photographs depicting the floggings of bare-bottomed women, then turn to trapping women into their sadomasochistic fantasies that are filmed for an exhibition for paying customers. A disturbing, erotically creepy, funny and touching film…” (C) El Hombre.
