Why are we afraid to let go?

Cesar, an emotionally stunted masochist, must confront his self-loathing after his dom, Bear, reinterprets the rules of their game. They arrive at a paradigm-shifting result neither one of them expects.

An award-winning short film, Safe Word asks: How comfortable are we at choosing our pain and what gets in the way of love?
