Mirage

About this movie

Mirage is a psychological thriller about a young woman trapped inside the illusion of a life that no longer exists. After the tragic death of her beloved, Marina clings to a familiar reality, preserving it through memory. She still talks to Sergey, argues with him, prepares tea for him-as if nothing has changed. Day after day, the same imaginary rituals repeat. Her apartment becomes a psychological trap, a closed world where time stands still, and the past dominates the present. Aleksei, Sergey's friend, enters Marina's life with genuine care and love. He is warm, alive, and truly present-but Marina continues to choose the ghost. Her mind slips deeper into the illusion, where the dead still speak and memories feel more real than facts. Aleksei offers her a way forward, but the weight of grief builds walls too high to climb alone. The film carefully balances between reality and delusion, keeping the viewer questioning what is real and what is imagined. Who among the characters truly exists? Where is the line between sorrow and madness? The final scene delivers a quiet, devastating twist: Marina appears to be surrounded by her loved ones, but in truth, she is completely alone. Her imagined world fades into stillness-leaving only the whistle of a boiling kettle behind. Mirage is an intimate, emotionally resonant drama about loss, trauma, and the aching desire to turn back time. It explores how memory distorts truth, and how hard it is to let go when your heart refuses to move on.
