Identical twins move through a palace of splintered mirrors—one chasing, one vanishing. Each corridor bends time: a touch rewinds into withdrawal, a whisper unravels into silence. Casting twins as lover/phantom materializes Lacan’s mirror stage: does she desire her sister or her own reflection? The film’s palindrome structure (identical forward/reverse playback) reveals love’s ouroboros loop. When the chaser corners the phantom, their faces fuse in a mirror. The final shot echoes the opening: twin A reaching toward twin B’s back, both trapped in infinite pursuit.
