Michael, a white, heterosexual cis man, plans a performance about his masculinity, in which he addresses his vulnerability, anger, sadness, and privileges. He wants to engage with the discourses surrounding toxic masculinity, gender, and feminism, and question the binary gender order. With a diverse team, he convinces a renowned theater of his idea and applies for funding. During an intense rehearsal process, he learns a lot about himself. However, when he finally stands on stage, he finds himself unable to utter a word and feels overwhelmed by the expectant silence. Suddenly, foreign voices rise from the audience and speak about him, which he will find displeasing.
