| Synopsis

This film is a visual exploration of the expectations of manhood and the internal fight and dialogue with the self, embodied by the three protagonists. While each of them fights for dominance they simultaneously expose their weaknesses, tearing each other down, lifting each other up and struggling to find support in moments of fading strength. Eventually they will try to break free from the constant struggle just to be torn back again into this vicious cycle.

Berlin-based director Torben Loth captures the original choreography of London-based Waddah Sinada, founder of FUBUNATION. The work is performed by Conal Finn Francis-Martin, Robert Robinson and Jamal Uhlmann, all dancers with State Ballet Hanover, and features an original sound design by Peter Duffy, original score by Pete Fraser and wardrobe by Chinese-born, London-based designer Feng Chen Wang.
