Synopsis
A blind sculptor, aided by his mother, abducts a model and takes her to his warehouse studio. The girl gives in to his sexual desires, hoping for a chance to escape. The dim light in the warehouse causes her to lose her sight, and sexual relations with her captor turn into a sadomasochistic contest. They torture each other until the model, seeking the ultimate masochistic experience, asks that he cut off her arms and legs--an act performed with a meat cleaver. The son accidentally kills his mother and then commits suicide.
