Look Away (originally titled Behind the Glass[2]) is an American psychological thriller film.[3] It tells the story of Maria, an alienated high-school student whose life is turned upside down when she switches places with her sinister mirror image.[4] The film is written and directed by Assaf Bernstein, and stars India Eisley, Mira Sorvino and Jason Isaacs.

Plot

Maria is a rejected teenage girl who finds solace from the torments of high-school and her alienating parents in her own mysteriously autonomous mirror image. Through the looking glass, she finds a friend who listens, encourages and guides her. Her reflection knows all of her secret desires and darkest dreams. After all, they are one and the same. With the help of her secret 'twin' in the mirror, Maria slowly gains confidence and finds her place as a young woman.

But at the winter prom, it all blows up in her face. Maria becomes, yet again, the school's laughing stock. Humiliated and lost, she places herself in the hands of her reflection, and trades places with her. When the darker twin takes over, repressed sexuality and ferocious violence erupt with an intoxicatingly dangerous sense of freedom.

The new version of Maria embarks on a mysterious quest for revenge against all who have wronged her. It is only when the reflection's dark side almost spins out of control that the film's real question gnaws its way to the foreground: Is the reflection real or is Maria slowly losing her mind? When Maria talks to her reflection, is she actually talking to herself?
