Synopsis:
In a Los Angeles sadomasochistic parlor, dominatrix, Terri (Paige
Davis), and her client, Mark
(Ryun Yu), are
clad head to toe in leather costumes concealing their faces and
ethnicities. These
elaborate disguises allow them to play out fantasies based on racial
stereotypes and sexual mythologies.
She becomes an African-American
woman to his white liberal man. Exchanging biting social observations
laced with stinging humor, they progress through their power games,
exposing the arbitrariness of racial mythology. All the while, however,
haunted by a growing awareness that beneath their own masks, despite
their best efforts, they may be moving to the most terrifying reality of
all true intimacy transcending racial boundaries.
Bondage: The Motion Picture -
Directed by Esquire Juachem based on the play by David Henry Hwang.

mores."
