Maria appears to be a bit of a loner and very quiet with low self confidence and no friends. Fairly soon into the movie, whilst pleasuring herself (which I thought made no sense to have in the movie) she notices her reflection is seemingly alive. This freaks her out but she brushes it off and goes about her life. Eventually her reflection Airam calls out to her and they engage in conversation, nothing overly interesting and Maria goes about her life again, by this time I was ready to give up on the movie as nothing interesting was happening. There are a few more exchanges between Maria and Airam, and we soon discover just how controlling Maria's dad is when he offers her plastic surgery! Seriously, who does that to their child!? Eventually Airam makes Maria realise what the people in her life are really like and offers to take away her pain. Finally after almost an hour into the movie, the main plot of the story happens. Maria and Airam switch places, and Airam seeks revenge on all who hurt Maria.
It wasn't a terrible film, it just took way too long to start properly. you kind of route for Airam and understand why she does the things she does, to be honest I did feel sorry for her. At the same time though there's not much to go on. We know Airam was left to die because of her deformity, but I was hoping for an explanation from their dad, or for mum to realise it wasn't Maria anymore, but again nothing whatsoever and the ending gave more questions than answers.
