Jack is an adult already. In his adulthood he is obliged to accept some harsh truths about the world and his place in it.
However, while in his mind he is strict pragmatist,
his heart desires more thrills than his bleak world can offer. He feels
that he is unique, even if he knows that nothing in his ordinary life proves it. He is in a constant inner struggle with his
need to excel, his
lack of determination to do so, and his
self-loathing for seeing his young life being wasted away on
frivolities.
One day, in his desperate attempt to become something more than himself he voluntarily places himself in an unorthodox,
perilous situation. While he escapes seemingly unscathed, when he beckons at his reflection in the mirror to become the
person he used to be, he discovers that
he can enter a mirrored version of his own world, with almost no barriers and no
residents. While he enjoys his new secret in any way possible, he soon discovers that the parallel world starts to change
a little by little.
When Jack is eventually
trapped in a completely alien location he just drifts without any sense of direction and purpose.
He says to himself "I need to find an exit" and "I need to survive". But is that what he really wants?
He will meet cryptic figures and will spend some time with some of them. A number of them will make him question some
of his beliefs. Trying to protect his ego he has made what is supposes that is a cold, pragmatical, pessimistic profile for
himself. But he has forgotten some important aspects of him that start to resurface.
We can all see what a mirror can show us. But behind the glass, the layer of silver may hide some secrets.
Is anyone really capable of comprehending what the silver shows?
