In 2019, a Swedish single father and self-proclaimed feminist travels to an anti- feminist men’s retreat in Denmark. He asks himself why such gatherings are needed as he tries to understand the anger and discovers loneliness and longing. Being so close, with so many men, is unfamiliar to him and a simple question evolves into a personal crisis. He questions his identity, how to raise his son, and the relationship to his own father. A 6-year journey down the rabbit hole of the so-called “manosphere” has begun and it leads him to a fundamental reflection:
what happens to a man— a human being—when their belief about themself is challenged at the core?
