Mutt follows Feña (Lio Mehiel) through a stress-filled New York City day, as he anticipates his estranged Chilean father’s visit. In his feature debut, Vuk Lugulov-Klotz, who is also trans, builds the story by consistently adding unfair burdens onto Feña’s shoulders. From rejection by family and friends to the micro-aggressions of strangers, the viewer cannot help but wonder if there will, one day, be a final straw that will break Fena’s back. But even as challenges pile up on Feña, he continues to do his best, demonstrating both his resilience and strength of character.
