Lucie, 21, faces her reflection alone in a fitting-room mirror before calling her friend Eve to the rescue.

The scouts
Two minutes of a girl staring at herself in a mirror before calling a friend—sounds like the kind of therapy-session pablum everyone else would pass on, and honestly, they might be right this time.
Demarta understands the formal vocabulary of the mirror-as-threshold, positioning the frame as both literal and psychological boundary; it's restrained enough to feel rigorously composed rather than merely intimate.
The decision to hold on Lucie's face in real time—no cuts, no musical manipulation—transforms what could be performative vulnerability into something genuinely unguarded; that restraint is what makes the phone call feel like rescue rather than convenience.
