Synopsis
By all accounts, Emma Marx is a beautiful, confident, well-adjusted woman. Unfortunately when it comes to love and romance, she has found all of her previous relationships to be a bit routine and mundane. Suddenly, that is all changed by a chance encounter with a handsome and mysterious man. He introduces her to a world she had only dared to fantasize of -- a world of erotic sex, role-play and BDSM. She questions how a man can so easily strip away her inhibitions and replace them with lust and desire. How is it that he has such control over her?. Why does she like it so much?. Her journey of self-discovery and sexual awakening, however, may come with a price. What happens when the greatest love you've ever known makes you face your greatest obstacle -- yourself?
(Runtime - 1 hr. 56 mins.)
———————
In THE SUBMISSION OF EMMA MAX, "Emma Marx"(Penny Pax) is a college student, who has never found love, or even had a steady relationship to speak of, despite seemingly everyone else around her, finding something or someone, who make them happy. This includes her roommate and sister, "Nadia"(Riley Reid), who has just gotten engaged to her boyfriend, "Ray"(Van Wylde). No, it would seem that Emma doesn't have time for relationships(although she longs for love), as she keeps herself busy with such things as school assignments. And it is such an assignment that we find her working on, when the story truly begins. The assignment is a Masters thesis on equality in the workplace. It is such a project for which she has interviewed a number of sucessful business people, but it is not until one February morning, as Emma recalls(via the film's narration), that things take a rather interesting turn, when she chooses to interview one William P. Fredrick. Her reason for wanting to interview Fredrick, is for the fact, that as an owner of a successful company, she is startled to find that out of all of his employees, 97% of them are female. Hoping to grab some insight, she begins to quiz Fredrick. However, she is is quick to take note of his arrogance, and abundance of self confidence. They are two qualities that might very well turn most away, but for Emma, it only intrigues her. Although Emma comes away from the meeting with possibly more questions than she had going in, the two part ways on a very admirable note. From then on, Emma just cannot stop thinking about the mysteriously intriguing man, whom she has met. However nothing his heard from him until one day, a telegram arrives at her door. It's from Fredrick, who gives Emma specific instruction not to contact him until after she's graduated - and should she follow the rules, at that time, she will be given special information, regarding an opportunity that he promises will be unique. The proposal puts Emma even for on edge, as she often pleasures herself at the thought of the man, and his mysterious "opportunity". What can it, be? she doesn't know. But what she does know, is that graduation, which is 4 months away, could not come any sooner. Fast forward in time a little, and the day finally arrives. And on that day, she receives an envelope, mailed to her by Fredrick, which contains, both a set of instructions, as well as some paperwork, in which she is to sign. The instructions tell her specifically what to wear, and what time she should arrive at the address which he has also provided. And the paperwork? A non-disclosure agreement, to be signed between the two. She quickly discovers that the location in question is Fredrick's lavish mansion, and that the paperwork is an agreement to engage in a BDSM relationship with him. It is something that is scary at first thought to Emma, yet she eventually agrees to it, as well as its stipulations, as she slowly puts her guard down and dives into the experience. It is an experience that would soon change her life. After giving into temptation, she is hooked. But that's not before making some alterations in the relationship of her own. She wants a job at Fredrick's company as well as a set rate salary. Fredrick agrees to her desire, on the condition that the two be able to extend their BDSM practices into the workplace. So during the week, Fredrick has her during office hours, while on the weekend, she's all his at his place. It's a relationship that seems to work out - Fredrick sets the rules and boundaries, and Emma follows them. It takes some getting used to on her part, but soon Emma falls into the routine. In reality, she enjoys being dominated by the man, who she refers to as "Mr.Fredrick" immensely. So much so, that she opens herself up to things she said she's never do - such as anal sex. As Fredrick continues to push Emma Marx to her limits of both pleasure and pain, Nadia becomes suspicious of her sister's secret sexual activities, which nearly cause Emma to abandon them altogether. But as she attempts to stray from him, she finds that the temptation in which Fredrick ignites within her is just far too strong, and that her interpretation of love and happiness simply differs from the norm.
