Though they have not identified as a man for over a year, Sammies college buddies haven't quite gotten the messageas evidenced by their formerly closest friend Adam asking them to be his best man. Arriving at the swanky hotel, Sammie immediately questions their decision to come. Bad enough that they have to suffer through a torrent of passive-aggressive comments from the groom's palsall met with zero pushback from supposed "nice guy" Adam. But also, they seem to be the only one who's noticed the mysterious cult that's also staying at the hotel, and is ritually dismembering guests and demanding fealty to their bloodthirsty god. Part satire, part horror, Boys Weekend explores what its like to exist as a transfemme person in a mans world, the difficulty of maintaining friendships through transition, and the more cult-like effects of masculinity, hustle culture, and capitalismall through the vibrant lens of a surreal, scary, and immensely imaginative romp.
