After the death of a man that stalks Dominique, she moves to another place and Dade seeks her out.
"Submission" is a weird romance about repressed fantasies and reality. The idea is great but the movie does not work well, limited not only by the extremely low budget but mainly because of the poor screenplay that does not develop well the characters and the situations. Further the eroticism is very limited despite of the theme and the tiresome edition with excessive use of fadeout is annoying. With minor improvements this movie could be better and better. My vote is five.
Title (Brazil): "Dominatrix Jogos de Sedução" ("Dominatrix Games of Seduction")
