MANOMAN

Synopsis

Glen is barely a man. In a desperate attempt to tap into his masculinity he attends a primal scream therapy session. Surrounded by wailing men he cannot even make a sound. When another member of the class pushes Glen too far he finally lets something out - a miniature version of himself which does whatever it wants, regardless of the consequences.
