¡Diosa Laia! (vol. 1: the Beginning)
Martino Cossu Rocca
“¡Diosa Laia! (vol. 1: the Beginning)” is the first part of a project of more than eight hours in total (self-produced in collaboration with the Nou Prodigi film school in Barcelona): a story of Femdom (Female Domination in the BDSM world ) and probably the first fiction film that explicitly deals with the subject of Financial Domination, that is the control of a submissive person’s money (usually a man, the moneyslave) by a Dominant Person (usually a Woman, the MoneyMistress or FinDomme). This vol. 1 recounts the day-to-day life of Miguel, a Barcelona thirty-five-year-old employee of submissive “Femdomian” nature, between the office, drinks with friends and with his ex, with whom he still has occasional sexual relations, his relationship with his father , a hedonistic heart patient who does not want to give up his vices, and above all the constant thought of the Goddess Laia, professional Dominatrix and MoneyMistress that he follows on the internet and who dreams of being able to serve. Until he starts sending her money and gifts, a decision that could change his life.
