Lauded at festivals around the world Manoman is an intense, darkly funny exploration of man’s primal desires and instincts. Energetic, tightly scripted and brilliantly executed, the film follows Glen, a weedy excuse for a man, as he tries to tap into these primal instincts. However, once they are unleashed, will he be able to control that which he has set free?
