A submissive former mental patient gets a job at a law firm and begins a sadomasochistic relationship with her new boss. He is aroused by her obedience, and she embraces his abuse.

The bold and boundary-pushing film series Uncomfortable Brunch is making its Miami debut as part of the Miami Film Festival, bringing its signature blend of provocative cinema and indulgent brunch to O Cinema South Beach on Saturday, April 5, 2025.

Known for showcasing transgressive and challenging films in a communal setting, Uncomfortable Brunch has become a favorite for adventurous cinephiles in the greater Orlando area. This special Miami edition offers audiences the chance to experience thought-provoking cinema alongside a curated brunch menu, making for an unforgettable morning of discomfort.
