Mancub is the beautiful and absurd story of Paul, an unremarkable teenage boy who seems to be turning into animals. While facing the usual struggles of growing up (fighting with your dad about the milk, soccer practice, flirting, etc.) he also faces a more pressing problem – his reality keeps shifting as the lines blur between the human and the beastly.
