The protagonist wants to break up with her boyfriend, who is not only boring but also brings her sentimental gifts. But the unwanted present, given as a memento of their time together, has magic properties. After the split-up, the girl’s life literally starts sinking in a swamp. “Mud” is a gloomy and repulsive animation, in the style of a fairy tale combined with a horror, about the consequences of rejected love.
