简介：Sydney and Darrel met while working through the trenches of chaos of low budget independent filmmaking. Like most forced to produce under pressure, they grew close and began to admire and respect one another. However, their romance never quite had the opportunity to blossom and once the production was over, they went their respective ways and moved on with their lives. After 2 years of post production, when the film is celebrating its premiere, the two of them meet again. With spirits flying high and the cast and crew present to critique and admire the work they have done, Sydney and Darrel after a night of drinks hook up. In the last two years they've had their professional triumphs and failures, they've had their flings and various romances, but they've always kept each other in the back of their minds as that one that got away, the magical other. But...things are different now.
简介：本片改编自理查德·克拉夫特·埃宾（Richard von Krafft-Ebing）声名狼籍的医学著作《性精神病态》或译为《性心理疾病》（Psychopathia Sexualis）。埃宾曾采用传统的临床精神病学方法，搜集各种性变态行为的病例，对它们加以系统的组织和分类。自1886年发表以来，直到1902年埃宾去世，该书每年都会再版。《性心理疾病》的成功使埃宾本人从一个不显眼的神经科专家，被提升为维也纳大学的精神病学教授和精神病院院长，并成为当时精神病学研究的权威专家。更具有社会意义的是，该书标志着医学对人类性生活的干预的开始，打破了基督教会在该方面的垄断地位。本片就是从书中摘录部分拍摄而成的，描写了梦幻般的世纪之交的性变态行为。
