Synopsis

This erotic and subversive documentary chronicles one hot summer on the S&M leather circuit. Events in Chicago, New York and San Francisco are just three of the many world wide stations where gay leather men meet to live out their fantasies and fine community. Profiles at the infamous International Mr. Leather and Mr. Drummer competitions take viewers on an intense journey through a world of porn actors, title-holders, uniform fetishists and S&M slaves. Filmmaker Jochen Hicks portrays the complexity of human elements inside this world of activists and pleasure seekers who come from all walks of life.
