Having escaped a destructive relationship, Maja Borg explores two ritual practices: Christianity and BDSM. At first glance, the two could hardly be further apart, but perhaps there is a spiritual kinship between religion and subculture in terms of their healing power. Borg confronts herself and her deeply personal traumas, while exploring the European queer scene and the Christian heritage of northern Europe to find back her own core.
