Jacek is a good-natured metalhead with a lust for life. He works on the construction site of a giant Jesus statue. There, he suffers a horrid accident that disfigures his face. Although he survives by receiving Poland’s first face transplant, he can’t be saved from falling into an identity crisis.
With the world’s largest Christ statue looming over its protagonists, this beguiling, unpredictable drama won director Małgorzata Szumowska her second Silver Bear. Dark yet frequently comic, Mug is an incisive inquiry into identity, love, religion, and prejudice in a small-town community in Poland.
