A Two Way Mirror
One woman's journey to self-awareness, self-confidence and maturity.
“A Two Way Mirror” is the author’s personal quest for inner peace, taking place in the Croatian region of Lika, the remote land of her ancestors. There are many tunnels in Lika, and after each dark tunnel, filled with secrets, fear, darkness - all shown in organic, experimental images - a new season of the year awakens. The images of land, the people observed, a well of sounds heard and the guiding voice-over, complete the experience. While the director films amazingly magnetic and gruesomely cruel scenes of Lika, Lika forms an outline of her own self as she revisits experiences of her ancestors and her own experiences in a search for the key to accept her epilepsy and overcome the loss of four pregnancies and love.
