I want you to treat me like a dog
To feed me from your palm
To tell me where to stop and go
Forever be around
I want to be submissive, but
Strong enough to protect you
I wanna be your fucking dog
Obeying every rule you tell me
To pee from the happiness of seeing you
To lick your fingers and your toes
To chew and sniff your dirty laundry
To smell your shoes' odor
I want you to spank me with your whip
And put me on a leash
I want you to yell at me and scream
If I mishear your wish
It is my dream to be your dog
To please you as I can
But in reality, I’m not
Although we wish the same.
After a brief conversation on the Grindr app, two men are meeting for a BDSM
hook up, which goes beyond their expectations, blending fantasy and reality.
DIRECTOR STATEMENT
When I first began exploring my desires and fantasies, I carried an overwhelming sense of shame, shaped by my background as a gay person raised in Russia.
In BDSM relationships, I was free to explore these complex emotions. Unlike
before, I was no longer shamed for my desires or traumas—instead, I had a chance
to confront these internal struggles.
"Two Tulips" reflects my desire to understand what lies beyond trauma, inviting viewers to engage with the complexities of identity and acceptance. This film is not only a personal exploration but also a broader invitation to embrace the multifaceted nature of ourselves.
