About this event
What if Narcissus had access to a gym and no one had ever taught him self-control? Then you get this film, in which a group of men come together to become enormously muscular and generously coat themselves with vast amounts of body oil. This documentary reveals a world where self-improvement turns into obsession, and friendship is accompanied by a knowing grin and a healthy dose of mutual rivalry. Beneath the tanned skin and bulging veins lies a fascinating story about friendship, rivalry, discipline, ambition, insecurity, and masculinity. The film answers the age-old question that has occupied humanity since the dawn of time: how much suffering is a man willing to endure to look truly magnificent in a tiny pair of briefs? Come for the muscles and the tiny shorts. Stay for the psychological warfare. And leave wondering if you've just watched a documentary, or the founding meeting of a particularly well-oiled cult. One thing is certain: after this film, you'll never look at a glass of milk the same way again.
