Mutt

Feña, (electrifying newcomer Lío Mehiel, winner of a Special Jury Award at Sundance for their performance) a young trans guy bustling through life in New York City, is afflicted with an incessantly challenging day that resurrects ghosts from his past. Everyday locations become the hectic background to this emotional drama that overlaps past, present, and future. Settling the disharmony of transitional upheaval in relationships familial, romantic, and platonic is Feña’s task at hand, and his resulting juggling act is equal parts skillful, fumbling, and honest yet, warm, true, and touching. Sundance favorite Mutt shines through its tenderness toward each character’s struggle with the complexity of trans life, Latinx life in America, and human life in general.
