Synopsis

Thirteen men retreat to a country house in Mallorca, determined to open up to each other and to experience a personal and collective transformation in search of new ways of being men. They confront their wounds, blockages and violence through physical and emotional dynamics that will put them to the test. They are led by Rai Cresí, an anthropologist and therapist who works on the issue of masculinity in workshops where he accompanies other men to initiate self-knowledge processes. For three days, they all undergo a tribal, cathartic and healing experience that breaks with the concept of traditional masculinity and pushes them to confront their personal history and their own vulnerability. But not all of them are ready.
