    Das ist Genial. Ich habe Tränen gelacht. Wenn es schlecht lä, kommt auch noch Pech dazu.

    The hardest part to believe is a house on a Ferris wheel
  • A very fun short and brilliantly shot. it feels a shame though that the end came from the window rather than an escalation of their game or the dynamic between them

    Who needs a safeword when the partner is dead?
  • Köstlich, der Twist am Schluss…!!! Ich grinse immer noch!

    When I first saw the title of this video, I thought it would be about Nicolas Cage.
  • @KrzysztofGnutek
    I was expecting a short with Nicolas Cage and was surprised it's in german, and also Nicolas Cage is not in it :P
  • Typical that the first thing he desires to do is try to open a window that is literally LOCKED and says DO NOT OPEN for your own safety...🙄

    I loved this. This is why a brat needs a brat tamer and if you don’t know what im talking about thats fine as well
  • @brachio1000
    A stylish take on the bdsm urban legend (used by Stephen King in GERALD's GAME). Pretty silly, really, that Nicole would buy a heavy steel cage when her lover shows little interest in bdsm.
  • Erinnert mich schwer an Murphys Gesetz. Alles, was schiefgehen kann, wird auch mit Sicherheit schiefgehen. Also, liebe Subs: Sucht Euch einen echten Dom. Aber auch dann - bedenkt Murphys Gesetz... :)

    ROFL!. We need a part two when the cops show up and see him the box.
