Plot Summary

An erotic thriller from the director of Psychopathia Sexualis, The Little Death offers a peek into the seedy boudoirs of a Victorian-era brothel, where a strong-willed reformer and a corrupter of innocence battle over the fate of a young woman who seems to be held there in sexual captivity. While the owner attempts to mesmerize and seduce the would-be rescuer, a meek student wanders into the house and becomes a tragic pawn in the psychological game of cat-and-mouse that is rapidly unfolding.
