This documentary by the award-winning filmmaker Ryuichi Hiroki explores the controversial world of rope bondage and domination, something that has fascinated and titillated Japanese audiences for years. The intricate process of tying women up and suspending them in midair in a way that doesn’t injure them—yet still looks dangerous—is an complex art that is covered throughout the film.
