“Are you a man or a mouse?” asks the bandy coach. Viggo is unsure how to respond, but the other boys proudly shout out “MEN!”. After a tense practice, Viggo and Noel go to hang out at Noel’s who has a sauna. The two friends start a competition in manliness. But the competition is tough when no one really wants to win it. The film screened at the prestigious International Short Film Festival Oberhausen.
