Beyond Forty

Beyond Forty is a satirical mockumentary that follows a man who turns forty and decides to document his life as if it were a scientific case study. What begins as a controlled attempt at self-understanding quickly unravels into an absurd portrait of middle age—where physical discomfort, emotional contradictions, and daily routines refuse to align with the idea of “becoming wiser.” Through dry humor and observational realism, the film dismantles the mythology of adulthood and exposes the gap between how we narrate our lives and how we actually live them.
