At St Sebastian University, where all are gay men and everything pulsates of eroticism and power games, the strict Schoolmaster works. In his secret affair with his pupil Charles, he's developed the Schoolmaster Games, a BDSM game where Charles makes mischief and the Schoolmaster punishes. Suddenly a mysterious carving on his office door reminds him of a past trauma and causes his orderly existence to crumble. There is also the boy quartet; Tim, Paul, Noak and Fred, who are engulfed by the selection of the ”Winter Procession”. But the competition blows deep cracks between them and threatens their unity.

Certificate number	208262
Date	2022-03-01
Classification	Allowed from age 15
Grounds for decision	Framställningen innehåller inslag av flera utdragna och närgångna skildringar av bdsm-sex mellan en lärare och en elev, pornografiska bilder med bl.a. penetration samt en brutal misshandel som avslutas med att en ung man karvas i axeln med en kniv. Detta kan medföra stark rädsla, oro och förvirring. Framställningen bedöms kunna vara till skada för välbefinnandet för barn under 15 år.
