Mao is a middle-aged Chinese man. With a tinge of bitterness, he manages his struggling little shop. Through a commercial, he discovers a retreat where men can unleash their inner caveman and find their voice. Here Mao encounters a wild and fearless version of himself.
The film takes a humorous approach to anger, the concept of masculinity, and the idea of letting (oneself) go.
