Leather boy Bill is discovered among the jagged rocks and swift-running streams of a high, mountainous setting. He wanders about aimlessly for a brief time and then suddenly comes face to face with a nude sunbather - Voldemar. The two look at each other and their mutual interest is obvious. bill begins to tenderly caress Voldemar's chest, stomach, legs and especially his buttocks. Voldemar relaxes and enjoys the leather boy's tender touches. then he rises and leads him to his secluded mountain cabin.

There he slowly and affectionately removes all his leather garments until the two boys stand there face to face ... nude ... yearning for each other ......! (Continued on film .......)

NOTE: "The beauty and love expressed in this film make it my personal favorite of all the films I have ever made."

..... PAT ROCCO

What the Los Angeles critics say;

"Yes" is a vignette of magical beauty. Mr. Rocco has discovered among the many models of Hollywood, a blonde talent named Voldemar – who has eyes which speak as eloquently as Rocco's camer. Together, in "YES:, they weave a spell in a story of encounter. This time it is a boy dressed in leather who discovers a sunbather (Voldemar). In wordless basic communication, the two perform the ultimate in drama – the telling of a story through movement. The scenes of the Leather boy caressing the blonde's body are exquisite under Mr. Rocco's direction. And when the Leather Boy puts his head next to Voldemar's chest .... the only breathing in the theatre is that of the two actors..."

In an ERA interview Rocco said that this was filmed at his cabin.

COMMENTS OF THE CRITICS:

"Rocco has genuine talent. His best film is the strangely disturbing THE PERFORMANCE. This pas-de-deux for two figures - one black, one white - builds an ambiguous sense of desire & dread through its movements of camera, of actors and by editing. It is not merely a sex or skin film, but a poesie which bursts the bounds of its conventions. THE PERFORMANCE is too good to be relegated to the male nude houses ... it is a sex act not easily forgotten ....."

RICHARD WHITEHALL

Los Angeles Open City

"THE PERFORMANCE is a surrealistic bombshell with overtones of revered racial symbols and play like a dream ballet. It is a disturbing picture on many planes .... and make Sidney Poitier's roles look like Uncle Tom playing opposite Mary Poppins. It is one of the most anti-wasp (white-anglo-saxon-protestant) picture I've ever seen ..............."
