Men Up

MEN UP is inspired by the true story of one of the world's first medical trials for the drug that became Viagra, held in Swansea's Morriston Hospital in 1994. The film explores the fragilities of five ordinary men in pursuit of their ultimate reward... the return of a romantic connection in their lives. But as they dare to dream for that once-lost intimacy, the men realise the hard work has only just begun. The trial will take them to unexpected places and force them to re-assess their lives. A funny, frank drama about masculinity, mental health, family, friendship and love.
