The Man Child is a darkly absurd, visually striking comedy short about an emotionally stunted man who takes an au pair job to prove he’s dad material, only to find the job is not what it seems. It's about ego death, delusion, and the chaos of modern masculinity and parenthood. Through a surreal narrative that begins with a psychedelic trip and spirals into psychological collapse, the film uses cinematic craft and satire to explore questions around adulthood, purpose, and identity. It marks the directorial debut of a MENA comedian and filmmaker aiming to elevate comedy to the level of high art.
