Y, an 18 year-old senior high school virgin, begins a passionate and sado-masochistic affair with J, a 38 year-old sculptor living in Seoul. Y lies to her parents and takes the train to meet J in An-dong, one of the most conservative cities in Korea with strong Confucian traditions. During their first meeting, Y surrenders her virginity to J. Their sexual relation intensifies with increasing sadistic acts. Y submits to J's whip and demands with surprising enthusiasm and considerable fortitude. Subsequent whippings and beatings become the peak of foreplay. After a three-month trip to Paris, J reunites with Y, now a college student. With Y legally an adult now, there is nothing to stop the two. At this point, their role during sexual foreplay changes as it is now J who starts asking Y to whip him. Meanwhile, Y's brother sets fire to J's home after learning about their affair. Y responds by leaving the family and dropping out of college. J and Y become sexual vagrants, traveling from motel to motel and living on credit cards and borrowed money. Their life heads for complete hedonism and abandonment of material trappings. less
