We're working through these unimaginative but entertaining Russian productions. There are occasional notable moments. In this setting we're back in the mirrored dance studio, the familiar young male disciplinarian this time playing a gym teacher, angry at four girls for some vague drinking incident with the police.

The four girls, brunettes of a variety of shapes, wear schoolgirl kit, and are directed to strip and put on PT gear This undressing is Nettles pro forma, to let us see the merchandise, and it is slowly done. The girls pivot on cue and the mirrors are very helpful. The girls belittle each others' bottoms--we presume they know what we're watching. The gym teacher singles out two girls and makes them strip nude.

Both are diminuitive and cute, neat tight figures, nicely shaved. They must run, naked as they are, in a circle around the teacher, then goose-walk--salacious and revealing. All the while the teacher threatens them with a doubled jump rope. More exercises-squats, jumping jacks, leg lifts on stools, all done facing us or backs to us, whatever maximizes the girls' charms. They march and jump rope--we've commented: nothing like a naked girl jumping rope.

It's time for some spanking. The exercise benches are positioned and the prettiest of the two bare ladies lies flat, full length--a particularly Russian punishment position, grabs the legs of the bench and prepares to hang on. The other girls, one nude and two still dressed and so far escaping attention, are directed to circle and whip her with jump ropes. But they're mild and ineffectual slaps, so the gym teacher takes over. He whips hard, from various positions. In spite of the terrible editing, it seems the naked lady takes at least 30 full swipes with the rope. Plenty of welts and lines--actual loop marks, closeups, tears and flailing. These Russians are mean.
