The film concerns the masochistic impulses of a beautiful young married woman, played by Catherine Deneuve, in one of her finest, most enigmatic performances. Severine Serizy, the beautiful young wife of a handsome and wealthy surgeon Pierre, loves her husband deeply but is always frigid when lying in his arms. He remains kind, considerate and polite, but they cannot make love. Consumed by guilt, Severine develops a masochistic urge to be sexually assaulted and decides to work part-time in a small, clandestine, and elitist brothel, catering illegally to wealthy patrons with specialized sexual tastes. She spends her afternoons as fetish and fantasy object to an assortment of strange clients, including Japanese with the mysterious box.
