The Mirror

Jean has not spoken to his mother for 5 years. However, she has just committed suicide and he has to return to Belgium to settle his estate. While she bequeaths him an antique mirror of great monetary and sentimental value, he will have to deal with his mother's very young husband, Fabrice, and his mother, who are hindering his efforts to get it back. Through this quest for the mirror, Jean will have to free himself from a past that haunts him by making peace with what his mother left him.

Directed by Marc Joly-Corcoran, The Mirror leans on a strong ensemble — Normand Daneau, Tatiana Zinga Botao, Élia St-Pierre — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2021.
