Andrew Myers (37) works as a housekeeper for a family of women and is the youngest man still living on Earth. In this comic mockumentary, men have been threatened with extinction since the 1950s, when women spontaneously started giving birth to children - girls - without any contribution from male genes. Men quickly disappeared from all major posts and sex and violence were outlawed. The remaining men are now cared for in special reservations, and are no longer part of society. With the exception of a few cheap labourers such as Myers.
The characters are filmed going about their everyday business and interviewed about what they consider important for the future. Their worldview is substantiated by archival footage and in-depth interviews with academics about this female phenomenon. Men were in charge, one of them states, full of disbelief at the seemingly peaceful women who took over the reins according to the adage, ‘It's payback time!’ The result is as comical as it is terrifying - PMS is a bitch!
