Plot
Judith aka Jud, is a woman in her 20s, who works at a corporate office in Madrid. She becomes attracted to her new boss, Eric, who has recently inherited the company. On their first date, Eric reveals to her his kinky side, scaring her. Jud cuts their date short, but later apologises. After she has blindfolded sex with Eric, she is shocked to learn that another woman was present in the room with them, and gave Jud oral sex without her consent. Jud leaves angrily, but runs into Eric the next day at the office.
Eric announces Jud will accompany him on a business trip to Barcelona. Despite establishing professional boundaries, the two have sex again in Barcelona, first in the office conference room and then at their hotel. Afterwards, Eric suddenly leaves and puts Jud on a plane to take her home the next day. Jud visits Jerez instead, intending to stay with her family. She hooks up with an ex-lover, Fernando. Eric shows up to apologize, and takes Jud on a road-trip to his friend, Frida’s house. Frida is the woman who gave Jud oral sex at Eric's apartment. That evening, Eric, Jud, Frida and Frida's husband, attend a swinger party together. Jud and Eric have a threesome with another man. The next morning, Eric has disappeared again.
Jud returns to Madrid alone. She gets promoted on her day back at the office. Eric returns, and they spend the night at Jud's apartment. The next day, Jud decides to explore her kinky side - she ties Eric at his bed and blindfolds him. Unknown to Eric, he ends up having sex with another woman, Betta, who turns out to be an ex-lover. Realising she has been deceived again, Jud starts crying.
At the beach, Jud strips off nude, revealing a tattoo below her waist that bears the film's name. She voices that she is free now and has complete control over her body.
