When Debbie spends the night sleeping over with her best friend, she learns an unexpected family secret: in their house, Harriet still gets old-fashioned Enid Blyton style spankings to settle her teenage infractions. Curious Debbie is secretly delighted when her friend’s mother gives her the opportunity to witness this anachronistic event firsthand. So delighted, in fact, that she insists – rather forcefully – on shouldering some of the blame herself! Mrs. Harkham, taken aback by the girl’s eagerness, decides to find a way to make this punishment truly punishing. Has Debbie bitten off more than she can chew?

A spanking from parents is no joke – but this film puts a darkly comedic twist on the taboo topic. The banter between Harriet and Debbie sets the tone where old-fashioned domestic traditions meet modern kinky sensibilities. The punishment of Harriet (played by Pandora Blake) is humiliatingly performed in front of her friend Debbie (played by Faerie Willow) – and Debbie’s interest in proceedings lends a subversive flavour to a film that offers something more complicated than straightforward punishment. A classic “dream of spanking”, the framing and non-linear sequencing creates an extra layer of unreality. What is real, and what is fantasy?

This was Faerie Willow’s first ever experience of a “cold caning” – the implement applied straight to the bare buttocks without a warm-up. The behind-the-scenes material at the end gives us an insight into her experience, and from her dance of delight, we think she might be back for more!
