In front of the mirror, a man prepares, makes himself beautiful, composes an image; behind the image he builds, one question persists: is he beautiful enough to be loved?

It's a film about vanity that could've been maudlin pablum, but Geffroy keeps subverting the expected emotional payoff—the mirror becomes something weirder than introspection, which is the only reason it works.
A formally restrained study in the mirror-as-moral-arbiter tradition, executed with visible discipline; the two-minute constraint forces a clarity of image and purpose that feels both classical and precisely calibrated.
The decision to hold the camera as still as the man's own gaze turns the whole piece into a meditation on stillness itself—it's a $0 technique that costs everything, and somehow that restraint is what makes the melancholy land.
