Overview: In a dystopian society where the state has the power to determine who can and cannot father children, four men attend a government sanctioned retreat in the remote mountains of California.

When they show up at the site, only to find no guide or instructions waiting for them, they are left to their own devices and must prove to themselves--and each other--that they have what it takes to become fathers.

Blu-ray Verdict: Within a futurescape set slightly in the future our society’s governing laws have become a lot stricter about who and, importantly who cannot become a parent. They get an initial screening program to work their way through with the end part of the so-called quiz being that the candidates are placed in a government program to prove they can indeed be parents through some one-on-one sessions with an official representative.

So our lead four characters - Jeremy (Jono Sherman), Sebastian (Yuriy Sardarov), Andrew (Neal Kelley) and Mo (Pomme Koch) - arrive at the retreat in question, but find themselves all alone as a foursome. And when I say alone, I mean ALONE, as there are no guides, instructions for what to do or expect, nor a government employee in sight.

Of course, they all believe that nothing is wrong, nothing out of place, that they are being watched / studied regardless, so they just get on with things and get to know each other better.

But then a knock on the door brings forth Ally (Jacqueline Toboni) who tells them that her car has broken down on the road and can they help. But they immediately question her and her motives, and whether or not this is just all part of the program / test.

A great concept with some great lead actors, and with quite excellent dialogue strewn throughout, my only ache is that the ending is so open-ended that it sadly forfeits all the filmmakers were hoping to cinematically say.
