Aftercare

Sam is a successful professional woman. Seeking new experiences she puts her details on a BDSM web-site as a novice submissive. She is contacted by Paul and she finds their first encounter to be a revelation and excitingly erotic.

However when she finds out what Paul really does with his current partner, Lisa, she is shocked yet feels compelled to learn more. In doing so Sam discovers a new world that fascinates her but will test the limits of her feelings about love and desire. What she experiences by finally witnessing Paul and Lisa’s intimate ritual will change her life forever.

Aftercare mixes a suburban eroticism worthy of JG Ballard with the ritual kitsch of Fifty Shades of Grey. The result is an acutely observed picture of a generally taboo area of contemporary sexual morals.
