the Pain appears in the film, very specifically, not only the SM-session, also open heart surgery, nail and tooth repimisenä. Strang told me that when the movie was shown at the festival in Spain, people fainted.

the film is required also to the actors more than usual confidence in the group and to each other.

When we did with Krista the first day, Krista choked me and put his bag away. I was naked and yet I had the feeling that I’m safe.

the film world has been talking about Donald mine man -a stir after the working conditions and how the real outcome of the aim by making the actor feel miserable.

– Surely obtained good results for him too. But the key factor was this instructor who trust the professionals and understand that I, too, want my has to go a long, Strang said.

– If there is a clear and safe frame, the guts to let the camera close to something real, which no longer need to protect, he continued.

Domina’s role to reflect the pacifier Kososta

Krista Kosonen tell you that he is thinking about in advance, how his role is presented.

If the movie is a female person, who is a professional dominatrix and most of the scenes is placed in her workplace, comes a lot of fears, that I wonder how this show. Revealed pintaahan this is not for me no, not sex.

the Fear proved futile.

– Everything is always stick with it, how it will be implemented. The first day I realized that this is in no way deliberately dregs to.

the instructor will tell you that the confidence built by being completely transparent.

– Was the idea that anything not encrypted. We discussed a lot with the actors before filming and during the filming. Especially in the beginning it was important to show the materials. These are the pictures, this it the perspective from which the story is told. That’s the biggest magic trick that wasn’t.

the working Group visited sadomasokistiseen world and watching professional domina sessions. The director reported that the consultant act as a mistress, which has been 20 years in the profession.

– Dynamics was something very primitive. It remind the same, which is in newborns in relation to parents or guardians: it is a weak creature, who is completely someone else’s mercy. At the same time this weak thing to keep the power of the stronger creatures.

Valkeapää think sadomasokismin the core is trust.

That you can give your heart and your body in someone else’s hands. A situation where someone else directs and controls, can be very liberating.

Mistress cast Kosonen told me that he had a pre-cliched idea of the domina’s work.

– I Think that it is always sexual. It is not at all always, but there is a lot of psychological things: Different needs, which I answered, Kosonen said.

according to the pilot the BDSM community take the working group’s purpose was initially a little sceptical. This is because, that experience, that it is presented before the stamp of the attitude of the season. BDSM refers to, inter alia, for binding and subjugation relating to the sm type.

– Soon the script after reading they realized that there were people then heart surgeon or BDSM-mistress, he describes this same value of eyes.
