Man Down
Overview
Dan is a man-child struggling to manage the responsibilities of adulthood, with his life spiraling out of control. His girlfriend, Naomi, is losing patience with his failure to tackle even the simplest tasks. Surrounded by two eccentric friends and stuck in a monotonous teaching job, he finds little joy in his daily routine, except for the occasional interactions with Miss Lipsey, the headmistress who looks at him with a mix of pity and disappointment. Adding to his woes is his unhinged father, who seems determined to make Dan’s life as humiliating as possible.
