Although they may seem poles apart at first glance, BDSM (Bondage, Discipline, Domination, Submission, Sadism and Masochism) and Christianity have, according to artist Maja Borg, much in common: both are practices that seek redemption, ecstasy and transcendence through rituals. After a destructive relationship, Borg explores these ties in this film full of elegant aesthetics and powerful imagery, searching for themself alongside a queer BDSM community and a Christian priestess, guiding their through a process of healing and exorcism from their innermost traumas.
