PlotAnthology series of contemporary dramas centred on the theme of masculinity and what it means to be a man in the world today. A school reunion brings together four men in their late thirties. In an atmosphere where the tender experiences of youth are present and childhood attachments and betrayals still cause pain, they are forced to acknowledge that the institution which has taught them to compete in a rational world hasn’t given them the means to express their emotions to those closest to them. As events unfold, an inability to deal with present crises suggests an incompleteness in their education which have grave and lasting consequences.
