Scott's new girlfriend is the girl of his dreams. Her best friend, Susannah, is his worst nightmare. When the two are introduced at a dinner party, tensions run high as lines are crossed, and Scott becomes convinced that Susannah is hell-bent on destroying his new relationship.

‘Not All Men’ is a razor-sharp meditation on gender dynamics among young people in modern-day Australia; intense, engaging and unforgettable.
