Film Description:
"Guiding viewers and voyeurs on a sampling tour through the underworld of S/M, TOPS & bottoms links the brutal world of the Marquis de Sade with the hierarchical structure of bedrooms and boardrooms. [...] Director Cristine Richey has gone to great lengths to document the history and explore the psychology behind the practitioners, champions and experts of sadomasochism. Furthermore, she gained access to the home of a couple whose lives are dedicated to the subject and its practice"
