​Here we’ve got two men, Carlobianchi (Sergio Romano) and Doriano (Pierpaolo Capovilla), somewhere in their fifties, maybe late fifties, with nothing going on in life.

“Miroirs No. 3” is the name of classic, romantic piano piece by Maurice Ravel. It is also the title for this movie about mirrors, and about how life is reflected in all types of daily activity. It is how a ghost from the past can be an invited guest in a lonely house. Read more
This is a story about a young woman who decides to finally put others aside and do something for herself. However, there’s a journey to that moment, which is what you get from this film. ​
