Synopsis
Struggling to come out to her mother, a teenager is reminded of the beauty that comes with honesty and truth.
Our Review
The mirror of her is well-acted, warm and insightfully written with a surprising emotional punch. This short film is sweet, delicate. The music makes you feel so good. The dialogues flow naturally and the best part is the use of short dialogues. The camera works really well with the story. Though film speak of especially the gay teens, this film is for everyone who believes in love. Because We never choose whom we fall in love with, it just happens.
