Temptations of Sodom
A 20-year-old student refuses to accept his homosexual longings despite the continued efforts of his friends. In the cellar of an abandoned ch'teau, he witnesses a fisting scene that troubles him so much it haunts him in his dreams. A mysterious person takes on his secrets in exchange for a strange map of the ch'teau. Harrassed by emails from an exorcist, he decides to consult him in an attempt to free himself from anguish. An initiation ritual, organised by a fraternity of well-endowed guys selected for their virility and exceptional capacities, introduces him to the debauched world of hot sexual encounters. Dildos, fisting, piss, self-fisting, douches, cherry-picking and ... tenderness.
