Georg Friedrich Haas is a famous Austrian composer & child of Nazi parents, his wife Mollena a renowned American kink educator and descendant of African slaves. Together they live in a public kinky relationship they have craved for 40 years: she is his ‘slave‘ & muse, he is her master – a combination that pushes many people’s buttons & touches on matters of race, sexuality, politics & power relations. This film documents their lives between perversion, art, love & radical self-determination.
