Only Bears

Only Bears follows a married couple as they navigate intimacy, stagnation, and connection when love alone can’t propel them forward. Set within the measured tempo of domestic life, the short film examines what happens after the fairy-tale ending — two partners who chose one another are still learning how to grow, adapt, and stay connected. It’s funny, tender, and a touch absurd, because long-term love often is. At its core, Only Bears centers on bodies of size, intimacy, and the moments when connection doesn’t arrive with fireworks — but with honesty, patience, and humor.
