Wild Men
In the Texan wilderness, over
100 men are beating drums and hugging each other. This is a "wild man gathering". For one long weekend, these
Americans abandon the urban rat-race, their wives and work to grapple with manhood. They shed both inhibitions and clothes, undergo initiation rites and painful campfire confessions. Their problems are different: failed in love, failed in business, alcoholic, workaholic, or just plain depressed. But these city slickers have one common aim: to discover what it means to be a "real man".
