S&M JUDGE
Directed by Erik Lamens, 2009, Belgium, 84 minutes.
Desperate to save his marriage, a respected judge reluctantly gives in to fulfilling the masochistic desires his wife has been hiding from him for decades. Initially shocked at her revelation, his love helps him overcome his inhibitions, and they begin to enjoy a secret life in the city’s underground S/M scene. But when the two are caught up in a police sting, his arrest and trial cause a national scandal.
