Overview

Filled with both laughter and tears, Manhood is a fascinating exploration of the interpersonal relationships that can define - or destroy - a family. A teenage son rebels against everything his parents hold sacred. A gather tries hard to own up to his responsibilities. A black-sheep brother-in-law revels in the depths of depravity. His estranged wife finds the freedom to explore her sexuality. Together, they create an emotionally charged family dynamic that builds to a powerful - and unexpected - ending.
