Sensual, lushly photographed and highly homoerotic, this vision of the legend of St Sebastian is filled with beautiful images of male bodies, and graphic scenes of sex and torture. St Sebastian is shown as a Roman soldier, who, because of his Christian beliefs, is sent to an isolated Sicilian encampment and into virtual exile. His fellow soldiers and their captain, Severus, become involved in narcissistic and sadomasochistic intrigue which culminates in Sebastian’s death when he refuses to have sex with the captain. It is subtitled, with the original soundtrack in colourfully lewd street Latin.
