In a dystopian California, four men attend a government retreat to prove that they have what it takes to become fathers. But nothing is as it seems.

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 arrive on site, they find no guide nor instructions awaiting them – nothing – except for creepy, infantile automatons provided to test their mettle. Left to their own devices and hellbent on proving that they have what it takes to become fathers, things take a dark turn fast as they realize that nothing is what it seems.

With their feature film debut,
Daddy, writer-directors
Neal Kelley & Jono Sherman have earned comparison to Yorgos Lanthimos, David Lynch, and Stanley Kubrick delivering one of the most original movies of recent memory. Daddy is a modern surrealist masterpiece with elements of sci-fi and horror that is contemporary, timeless and (at times) darkly hilarious.
