Mug
More than a body.
A darkly comedic exploration of identity and selfhood following a face transplant, balancing the absurdity of media spectacle with genuine existential crisis.
After fun-loving metalhead Jacek is disfigured in an accident at work, he becomes the first person in Poland to receive a face transplant. This leads to his status as a media spectacle and martyr, all while battling ensuing identity issues as a consequence.
