Though highly irritated by his secretary’s mistakes, it soon becomes apparent that the Boss is sexually aroused by her obedient behavior.

After he confronts her about her propensity for self-injury and commands that she never hurt herself again, the two embark on a BDSM relationship.

She experiences a sexual and personal awakening, and falls deeply in Love. He displays insecurity concerning his feelings for her, and feels shame and disgust over his sexual habits.

The soundtrack album contains a song that was notably featured over erotic montages in the film: Leonard Cohen’s ‘I’m Your Man’

If you want a lover
I’ll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of Love
I’ll wear a mask for you
If you want a partner
Take my hand
Or if you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
I’m your man
If you want a boxer
I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a doctor
I’ll examine every inch of you
If you want a driver
Climb inside
Or if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can
I’m your man

Ah, the moon’s too bright
The chain’s too tight
The beast won’t go to sleep
I’ve been running through these promises to you
That I made and I could not keep
Ah but a man never got a woman back
Not by begging on his knees
Or I’d crawl to you baby
And I’d fall at your feet
And I’d howl at your beauty
Like a dog in heat
And I’d claw at your heart
And I’d tear at your sheet
I’d say please, please
I’m your man

And if you’ve got to sleep
A moment on the road
I will steer for you
And if you want to work the street alone
I’ll disappear for you
If you want a father for your child
Or only want to walk with me a while
Across the sand
I’m your man

If you want a lover
I’ll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I’ll wear a mask for you
