In the comedy drama Menin Papam Tiger, we meet Amantay, a 35-year-old insecure man who feels like a loser all his life. But one day, a rare genetic brain disease worsens in him, which deprives him of a sense of fear. This radically changes his perception of the world and his own life.

Amantai decides to use his new quality as a chance to change his fate and restore his lost authority in a family where he has long been disrespected and not taken seriously. He begins to act more decisively, taking bold and risky steps that previously would have seemed impossible to him.

This new approach brings unexpected and often comical results, forcing Amantai to overcome obstacles and face situations that previously seemed frightening and unaffordable to him. Amantaya's journey from a loser to the hero of his own life becomes a story about overcoming his own limitations and seeking respect and recognition in family and social circles.

"Menin Papam Tiger" is an inspiring and hilarious picture about courage, self—acceptance and the path to inner transformation, where every brave attempt to overcome oneself becomes a step towards restoring one's own dignity and confidence.
