No Men Beyond This Point
No Men Beyond This Point is a 2015 Canadian comedy film directed by Mark Sawers. It was shown in the Vanguard section of the 2015 [Toronto International Film Festival] and acquired for distribution by Samuel Goldwyn Films.
Plot
The film is a science fiction mockumentary set in an alternate timeline several decades after a near-Earth object almost hit Earth in 1952 which rapidly accelerated human evolution, making it possible for women to reproduce asexually, via parthenogenesis, without men. The sex of a child produced asexually can only be female, and due to this evolution, sperm cannot naturally implant itself in embryos anymore, causing men to no longer be born, and become a dying breed. In this world women are wearing the pants. Following a feminist revolution, and the establishment of a female-led world government, men have disappeared from all important positions. The remaining men are kept on maximum-security reserves and are no longer part of society, with the exception of a few men who are allowed to do menial work. It is now up to the quiet and modest household helper Andrew Myers to ensure that the male gender does not go extinct. The 37-year-old is the youngest living man on Earth and works for a family made up entirely of women.Cast
