In the male changing room of a Japanese hot spring, this one-act play revolves around three men - Gabriel, Richard and Jeremy - engaged in a fervent conversation. Their longtime friend since high school, Adam, is about to make a transformative decision - to transition into a woman. The trio wrestle with the dilemma of whether to step in and voice their concerns. As the story progresses, they shed their clothing, revealing not only their physical bodies but also their raw vulnerabilities and insecurities as men. The play delves into the corrosive effects of toxic masculinity and the profound influence of distorted cultural norms, societal expectations, and bullying that have shaped their experiences in a boys' school environment.
