No Men Beyond This Point

A smart, hilarious take on gender politics, Mark Sawers' wry mockumentary set in a world where men have been taken out of the procreation equation. In this alternate history, virgin births have been increasing exponentially in number since the 1950s — and as it's only girls that are being born, it looks like men's days on earth are numbered. At 37 years old, Andrew Myers (Patrick Gilmore) is now the youngest man in the world, and lives a quiet life as a nanny for Terra (Tara Pratt) and Iris (Kristine Cofsky) — until he begins having an affair with Iris, forcing the lovers to hide not just from Terra, but from the uptight anti-sex authorities. Just as the dwindling male population — who have been sent to "sanctuaries" where they can quietly finish their lives — decides that it's time to stage a revolt, Andrew and Iris find themselves at the centre of a media frenzy spurred on by the more extremist female government leaders. As the men's comically disorganized comeback flounders, and the end of humanity as we know it approaches, the couple's actions will take on historic proportions.
