Synopsis
Years after the death of his wife, Juha struggles with sadness and regret. Stumbling into a dominatrix’s studio, he finds a salve for his guilt in Mona, a mistress who is as eager to punish Juha as he is to be punished. Things spiral out of control as neither know how far they are willing to go.

Critics reviews
It is in danger of substituting a new monogamous normality. But not before a great deal of alarming and intriguing provocation.

Though the film’s themes are serious, there is also much deadpan humour.
Anton Bitel

An engrossing and darkly comic rumination on mourning dwelling into a man’s grief through the least likely -and in hindsight, best-suited-prism possible: BDSM.
