Having exited a toxic relationship, the filmmaker Maja Borg investigates two ceremonial practices: Christianity and BDSM. Religion and subculture may have a spiritual connection in terms of their healing potential, despite their seeming dissimilarity at first appearance. Borg faces herself and her very personal traumas while investigating the European queer scene and the Christian tradition of northern Europe in order to return to her own center. Passion and suffering are two sides of the same complex situation in 'Passion,' whose transcendental imagers bring together literary and cinematic traditions in a ceremonial whole. But the abstractions give the film's confrontations a sense of human depth, as Borg is tested both physically and spiritually. This humanity may be the emotional and possibly spiritual link between theology and BDSM.
