Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

A disobedient young girl ventures into a reflective land of distorted truth after striking up a friendship with her own reflection in a youthful tale of fantasy that shows just when children can learn when they peer through the looking glass. Olya doesn't listen to her grandmother, but when a magical old mirror shows her a young girl named Yalo, the pair venture into a dishonest world populated by unusual mirrors that make its inhabitants appear better than they really are. When Olya and her newfound friend Yalo defeat evil and Olya is allowed to return to her home, she quickly determines to put the lessons learned in the strange kingdom to good use and free herself of her old bad habits.
