I hope you enjoy the story as it unfolds, taking you from the everyday life of an ordinary couple into the world of fetishism before you know it. Although it was shot digitally, we carefully designed it to have a film-like texture and lighting that draws the eye to the subjects. The music is created by exploring the visuals, and the film's uniquness is enhanced by incorporating everything from the vocals to the breath of the clarinet. Is it a person, a leg, or a material object? Come witness the moment when those boundaries blur.
