I’ve come to realize I’m drawn to pain in a way that feels like longing. What I crave most isn’t physical pleasure—it’s deep, raw intimacy. I want someone to see me and pour every bit of their emotion into my body and mind. The thought of being struck excites me more than any surface-level sensation. When a fist meets my skin, it’s like an emotional eruption—tiny explosions beneath the surface, like orgasms traveling through my veins. The ache settles into a warm, tingling hum that lingers like a secret. Bruises bloom across me like purple and red flowers, each one a testament to something real. But the hits were never sexual or romantic—they were something else entirely. Just not on my face. Never there.

More About This Film

The poem: Masochist is a one-minute 2026 short built around an intensely compressed poetic premise. Directed by Eva Naureckaitė and written by Vincent, the film centers on a character named Beetroot and uses its extremely short running time to focus on pain, devotion and inner conflict.

Rather than developing a conventional multi-act narrative, the film is presented as a concentrated cinematic moment. Its subject matter and title suggest a deliberately stark exploration of the attraction between suffering and meaning, with the emotional idea carrying more weight than a large-scale plot.

The miniature format makes the film particularly suited to audiences interested in experimental shorts, visual poetry and ultra-short filmmaking.
