Storyline
Gentlemen Only is a darkly comedic
psychological satire that explores the cruel
ironies and hidden violence of privilege within
the meticulously manicured world of an
exclusive golf club.

Gary, an anxious and financially desperate
employee, attempts to secure a life-changing
promotion by impressing his manipulative
boss, Don, in a high-stakes round of golf.
However, what begins as a hopeful gesture
quickly spirals into a humiliating and morally
compromising ordeal.

Through sharp humor and tense drama, the
film reveals how the polished facade of luxury
and wealth often conceals deeper moral
corruption.
