"Saviors" offers viewers a voyeuristic glimpse into the boundless expanse of possibility within bdsm, a softer side not often portrayed in media, through the sensual rituals of Shibari (rope bondage) with dominatrix Azriel Black Wolf. The film is accompanied with synthesizer music by John Paul Bohon. "Saviors" is in part a continuation of Cecilia's first short film, untitled Experimental Erotica #1. Self-experiential, dream-like visuals of sensorial processing bliss, juxtaposing softness and the taboo.
