Toxic Magnus

Magnus Alexander was a sensitive boy. He read books, listened to classical music and painted. But his father wanted him to be a real man. So he bullied him for his interests and forced him into more traditional male activities, until it paid off and Magnus became a successful athlete. But as Magnus grew older, he rebelled against his father’s parenting methods through drugs, isolation and self-destruction in a constant, desperate quest to do the opposite of what his father wanted, until he finally decides to save himself by saving others. ‘Toxic Magnus’ is a madcap hybrid film about the consequences of toxic masculinity and the idea that real men exist.
