“Male Dancer of the Year 2008 held as a sex slave”

Three young actresses are creating a performance about an extraordinary case of crime. They are casting men to find the leading actor for the story, but during the creation process things get out of control and it turns out, that the innocent-looking theatrical experiment harbours real danger.
In the Garden of Protected Men we can observe an ecosystem where power structure and gender roles take unusual forms. We can also get a first hand experience of the contradictory and sensitive moments of a rehearsal process.
