The Binding of Itzik is a film by Anika Benkov about a middle aged Chasidic book-binder who, in his search for binding materials on craigslist, stumbles across an ad offering 'binding lessons' for submissive women, which he responds to, becoming entangled in an emotionally intense BDSM relationship with a stranger on the internet.
More than being about a person taking their first steps to explore their gender and sexuality through the anonymous web, this film is about the ways small encounters with strangers can unbind us and leave us questioning who we really are.
