Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Make Me a Man is a 2015 film from Mongolia directed by E. Batkhuu.Mendee and Olzy are a middle-aged couple in Ulaanbaatar. Their son Bataa was a dashing, handsome young man, his whole life ahead of him, until he suffered a devastating car accident. Now Bataa is confined to a wheelchair, unable to talk, with brain damage that rather resembles cerebral palsy.Mendee is wheeling Bataa around the apartment building one day when her son, who is usually remote when he isn't suicidally depressed, fixes his attention on a gorgeous woman as she strolls past. Mendee, determined to help her son, tracks the woman to a nightclub. It turns out the woman, Naran, is a prostitute. Mendee approaches her with an unusual job offer: be Bataa's nurse and paid companion for a year.Naran is taken aback, but the money's good, and she takes the job. However, it turns out that Mendee has rather more intimate ideas about the relationship between her son and Naran. There's another problem in the form of Zula, who grew up in an orphanage with Naran. Zula, who seems to have imagined that she and Mendee would be Heterosexual Life-Partners, is horribly jealous when she finds out that Naran may have found a home and family.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Chekhov's Gun: Zula approaches Naran with a harebrained scheme to rob the safe of a john of hers. Naran rejects the idea. Later Zula returns, having successfully robbed the client. Apparently she gets away with it, although she's hurt that Naran won't come live with her.

Foreshadowing: Naran makes the mistake of inviting some of her friends over to Mendee and Olzy's apartment for a party. She gets mad when Zula starts grinding on Bataa's lap, telling her that Bataa is a sick man and they shouldn't make fun of him. Zula spitefully answers that at least one part of Bataa's anatomy is working just fine. Later, Bataa gets Naran pregnant.
