They say mirrors never lie.

But what if one steals your truth?


Anvi, a quiet 19-year-old girl, moves from Delhi to a forgotten hill town after the tragic loss of her parents. She now lives with her grandmother in an old ancestral home filled with silence, stories, and dust.


Everything feels different — the wind, the people, the cold air…

But the strangest of all is a dust-covered, antique mirror tucked away in the attic.


The first time Anvi looks into the mirror, she feels something shift — as if her reflection is watching her... but refusing to smile.


Soon, the mirror begins to show her visions — moments that feel like memories, but ones she doesn’t recall. Scenes of her childhood, her parents’ final days, secrets long buried in silence.


With every glance, the girl in the mirror changes —

a tilt of the head she didn’t make, eyes that shimmer with knowing,

a version of Anvi who seems more… complete.

More real.


As the mirror pulls her deeper, Anvi realizes this is more than a reflection.

It’s a doorway — one that remembers everything she has forgotten.

Everything others made her forget.


But the closer she gets to the truth, the more unstable her reality becomes.

Rooms rearrange.

People forget her name.

And the girl in the mirror?


She begins to move on her own.


Until one day, the mirror doesn’t show Anvi at all —

but a girl who smiles and walks away.


Anvi is no longer in the room.



---


🥀 Ending (Open, Emotional):


Only the mirror remains —

and a version of Anvi who finally found peace inside it.

But outside, no one remembers she ever existed.


> “Some truths heal you.

Others rewrite you.”
