To the music of dark wave group The Vyllies, two female figures appear on screen in black and white, one in the role of a dominatrix and the other as a submissive. The “lesbian sado film,” as it was billed at the Xenia women’s cinema in 1988, sparked heated reactions and fueled the feminist debate on pornography, BDSM, and female sexuality.
