Description: The 2015 film *Remedy* tells the story of a young woman who transitions from New York City’s underground kink clubs to the professional world of commodified BDSM. Adopting the pseudonym Mistress Remedy, she is hired to fulfill the sexual and psychological fantasies of clients. However, when asked to take on submissive roles, she finds herself unprepared for the challenges and dangers of this side of the industry. The film, a blend of creative biography and narrative fiction, is based on director Cheyenne Picardo’s experiences as a pro-switch in New York, exploring the complexities, controversies, and absurdities of commercial BDSM without passing judgment.
In a parallel storyline, Dr. Gibbs, a pediatrician, is sent to run a rural clinic in North Carolina after the loss of his wife. Despite his reluctance and his son Nate’s dissatisfaction, the experience becomes an opportunity for both to reconnect with each other and the world around them. The film raises questions about resilience, identity, and the paths we choose in life.
