It looks like a series of strange events experienced by a man who underwent a heart attack. The story begins with a man who has decided to undergo a face transplant but this has put him in many confrontations in his life. Everything began to change as this man began to face identity problems, and perhaps it would be bad soon after that process.

"Mug" works hard to be a fable about inner strength and beauty. But did everyone else have to come off as quite so foolish and ugly?February 01, 2019
