Plot

Henry Harding MP, a British government minister on a moral crusade, hires an inexperienced young computer whizzkid, Peter Emery who works for a Christian computer company called Holy Hardware, to infiltrate the United Kingdom BDSM scene. Harding is set on putting a club called "House of Thwax" run by Mistress Tanya Cheex out of business, and is sure that Peter's secretly videotaped evidence of the club's activities will do the trick. However, the virginal Peter takes a liking to Tanya Cheex and finds himself falling for the Mistress.

Review from www.imdb.com website:
by persons unknown

A lot of people can't see beyond the BDSM of this film, but if you're able to get past that you can see the real message of the film. I was blown away after watching it. It's very beautiful and stunning, especially using pink to mark everyone who has a perverted life, public or no. The message of this film is that strange and "normal" can share a common bond. The hardcore Christian gets sucked into the BDSM world and the dominatrix... well, you have to see the movie to understand. I won't tell. Needless to say, look beyond the superficial implications of this film and root for the deeper meaning. It is one of the best films I have seen since I can relate to both Peter and The Mistress. If you can't stomach BDSM don't watch it. If you do watch it, I urge you once again: look beyond the superficial implications and find the real meaning of the film. You will be shocked with what you find.


In Germany there was much fuss about this film, as we've heard much about it, but it was hard to obtain at first. Finally, someone managed, and meanwhile I've seen the film in its English original and in a translated version. I loved it at first sight! Tanya makes a dream of a domina, and Peter's so sweet... I presume, you enjoy it more when you're a member of the fetish/sm-community, but the gags - I mean jokes ;) - should be intelligible by everyone, I think. Of course you need a strong sense of humor, and you shouldn't feel offended by people who feel good kneeling in a cage, being beaten and stuff like this. It's in no way a true insight of the fetish-scene - it's too much dreams coming true ;)
