What happens

Fruits of Passion (French: Les fruits de la passion; Japanese: 上海異人娼館／チャイナ・ドール, romanized: Shanhai ijin shōkan - Chaina Dōru, lit. 'Shanghai Foreigner Brothel - China Doll') is a 1981 French-Japanese co-production directed by Shūji Terayama and starring Klaus Kinski. The film is loosely based on the novel Retour à Roissy by Anne Desclos, written as a sequel to the Story of O. While the film continues the story of O, a subplot depicts an anti-European rebellion in southern China. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
