Five modern-day men climb a mountain to roleplay as Dionysus-worshipping women and break free of the prison of masculinity.
When Stewart, an emotionally hidden academic, puts his divorced uncle, a sensitive colleague, that colleague’s fratty friend and a strange pickleball partner through the paces of choral chant, invocations and mock dismemberments, at first nothing but the wine seems to have much effect. But when a role-play pushes the men to absurd lengths, they soon discover they have no idea how to get off the mountain.
Desperate to survive but equally desperate not to leave the mountain unchanged, they are forced to confront the lies and fears that drove them to this performance of ecstatic femininity in the first place.
