Exit to Eden
Starring: Dana Delany (Lisa Emerson), Paul Mercurio (Elliot Slater), Rosie O’Donnell (Sheila Kingston), Dan Aykroyd (Fred Lavery), Hector Elizondo (Dr. Martin Halifax)
The story is actually a large story wrapped around a smaller more intimate one. The main character Elliot, a famous photographer, has been having problems with his inability to have a lasting relationship with a woman. So as a last ditch effort, he decides to go on a week long trip to an S&M fantasy island to work on his personal issues. Kinda like club MED for people with Dominance and Submission interests. Just before leaving he accidentally takes a picture of a famous jewel thief at an airport baggage claim while simply trying to finish of a roll of film. (he is actually shooting blind and has no idea he even took his photo.) So, while he is off to his fanatsy island, he is followed close behind by not only the jewel thief and his partner, but also the two police officers following them! While on the island Elliot becomes infatuated by the beautiful Lisa who is the head mistress in charge of the whole island. At the same time the jewel thieves are under cover trying to find him , so are the two police officers. All the while Elliot and Lisa are quietly falling in love.
As it turns out Elliot’s great hangup in love is he has a secret spanking fetish that even he doesn’t want to admit to himself, however Lisa proves more powerful than his inhibitions and finally through a little forceful fantasy is able to help break down the walls of his fear and help him accept who he is.
Towards the end, Elliot and Lisa end up attempting to get away for some alone time in New Orleans where they finally come face to face with the jewel thieves and are saved by the police.
Lisa who is totally terrified of the event retreats back to her safe little world on the island where she is the unquestioned ruler. Unbeknownst to her she is followed by Elliot who proposes to her and she accepts.
The movie ends by a voice over telling us they are to be married on the 4th of july.
