"I understand that the gym isn't everything, but when I see someone going to the gym, they just seem like a better man to me."

Better Man is an animated documentary that explores the phenomenon of bodybuilding and examines the relationship fitness-oriented men have with their own bodies. Through interviews inspired by journalistic techniques, the film presents the stories of three men who use exercise as a way to cope with their traumas that have often resulted in low selt-esteem.
