Structured in four distinct phases; self-build, self-obsession, self-satisfaction, and self-discomfort – the film delves into the young woman’s vain pursuit of an idealized appearance in the mirror, juxtaposed with a projected video that unveils her underlying lack of self-esteem and confidence. Tzvetanova skillfully peels back layers of human identity and vanity, revealing the poignant loneliness and existential discomfort beneath the facade of self-assuredness.
Beatrice Borrello’s cinematography beautifully frames the emotional landscape, creating a visual metaphor for the film’s tone. The absence of dialogue allows Moon’s expressive performance to shine, effectively conveying the silent struggle of a generation grappling with identity in the digital age. Tzvetanova’s work stands as a thought-provoking and visually striking exploration of the complexities of self-perception and the isolating effects of a facade that masks genuine human connection.
The film is rooted in an ethnographic research approach, specifically centred on Instagram users from Generation Z. The film, thus, offers a profound exploration of the intricate relationship between online identities and their potential impacts on the inner psyche and mental health.
