A man is caught in a constant struggle between the complexities of his reality and his inner darkness. A series of mysterious events drives him to a decisive confrontation with his fears and his identity hidden behind a mask.
THE MASK raises a profound question: Are we truly free to be ourselves, or are we merely prisoners of the masks we create?
