Belle has dreamed of one thing since childhood - to become as beautiful and radiant as her mother. Over the years, the dream has grown into an obsession, turning her life into an endless care routine. Even when her mother dies under mysterious circumstances, Belle flies to California with a suitcase full of cosmetics and without a single black dress.
At the funeral, she meets a bizarre stranger in red who claims that her mother did not just die, but went the way of roses. While Belle tries to figure out this mystery, her mother's red shoes themselves lead her to the doors of the iconic Rouge spa. In this strange house on the shores of a roaring ocean, Belle encounters demons from the 'black box' of her own soul. Only by diving to the very bottom of the shimmering depths on the other side of the glass will she finally reveal the terrible secret of her (and her mother's) obsession with the mirror

A story of uncertainty and anxiety - about memory that is already disappearing under the immense volume of new and new information, pain, tragedies and destruction. And at the same time, a story about love that breaks through like a plant through asphalt.
