- Summary
- Julien's "attendant" is an elderly Black man who works as a guard in an art museum. With a young, white gay man as his erotic muse, he views a nineteenth-century painting, "Scene on the coast of Africa," depicting slaves enchained, come to life. The startling imagery piques the man's fantasy of a pleasurable sado-masochistic encounter.
