A hard-hitting tale about the culture clash between two free-spirited young flappers and their repressive Victorian guardian. Violent belt whippings, the tawse, lesbianism and 1920s jazz.
I've always been fascinated by the Roaring Twenties, and the potential for punishment fantasies inherent in the idea of teenage women rebelling against authority by drinking, dancing, smoking, driving and dating. The original form of this fantasy was dark and solitary, a flapper trapped in an abusive domestic situation, envying her friends their freedom - and, eventually, after one particularly severe punishment, effecting her escape. It has always been crucial to my enjoyment of this violent, non-consensual scenario that the new generation win out in the end.
When I had the chance to film with Zille in an amazing period apartment, I seized the opportunity to invite her into the scenario. This was the first scene we shot together and I think you can tell how much we'd been looking forward to meeting each other! The (unscripted) petting session our characters indulge in to console themselves after their mistreatment wasn't entirely planned, but it fits - and the beauty of it is that repressive Uncle Thomas couldn't even imagine that such a thing might be possible.
This film should probably come with a trigger warning for domestic abuse. The punishment sequences are not nice: the whippings are delivered in anger, there's shouting, struggling and crying, and Tom is convincingly unpleasant in his role of horrid Uncle Thomas. But the story has a happy ending: the repressive ideas of his generation have a sell-by date, and the "new woman" he so abhors, in the end, will long outlive him.
I'm rather hoping that the next time I shoot with Zille we'll have the chance to film the sequel, after the young flappers escape Uncle's clutches to prohibition-era California. I'm sure many adventures await them there!

The filming of our first ever scene with Zille Defeu and her partner Duncan, who contributed his outstanding camera and photography skills to the shoot. Includes footage of Zille and Pandora indulging in out-of-character kisses and cuddles, and an end-of-shoot interview with Zille, Pandora and Thomas in which Zille describes the shoot as "one of the best she's ever been on". We can't wait to have her back!

But in the last frame I see no marks from spanking?
A fine production, good acting, technically flawless. I loved the making out at the end, with hot kisses and fine butt shots.
Will there be a sequel? With a riding whip? (One can always dream.)
Period details are reasonably well attended to. I am not quite sure about the stripe pattern on the wall, and the modern bed, but there are limits to what you can do to make shooting. I would have chosen a white shirt for Thomas though.
I'm very much hoping for a sequel, next time Zille and I are on the same side of the ocean!
Hotter than I even remembered!
I'll happily sign on for a sequel, and I can think of nothing better than adding riding whips!
And if we do the sequel in the US, I know several excellent period locations to use!
Oh, and I have cover-up for the tattoos, and am always happy to slap it on, or share it. All you guys ever have to do is ask -- it would never offend me. My tattoo is a part of me, but when I'm playing a part, I don't have "all of me" out there. Covering ink is just part of costuming, to me!
We should absolutely have used cover-up in all three of these scenes, but I didn't think of it. What the hell, it was only my second shoot. Now that the characters have them, I'm not sure if we should keep them or not in the next one. I definitely need to find a suitably 1920s wig though!
Oh, and to Frants...
Liberated ladies of the Jazz age
Just a point, for future reference, nylons didn't exist before 1939. Stockings were silk or cotton.
Excellent pics, btw...
I'm sure that Zille and I could be persuaded to do more things with our tongues ... :)
Wow
This is the one detail nobody probably notices but...
But anyway, bravo, this scene was fabulous. And also, since there were mentions of a possible sequel to this, I hope there will be one! I haven't noticed one but I haven't looked through all the videos yet.
