'Can you put a price on speaking what you deeply, trulybelieve in? Or is the voicing of personal belief priceless and fundamental toone's own development...?'Victor is going through a tumultuous patch of life. Tortured and fading, hewrites to his friend and brother in arms, Xavier, asking for an open ear and ahelping hand, but he gets more than he expected; supportive as they may be,Xavier's responses are forceful and quite unnerving, and they spark a fiercecorrespondence that begins to examine reality rather than just reaffirm it.The exchange of ideas between the two friends graduallyproliferates, piece by piece and story by story, and their perspectives expandinto broader issues and begin to blend into one another. Sometimes hard todigest, and even harder to delineate, they seem to be set nowhere specific,taking them on a ride around a misty stage where the actors are faceless andthe scenes nameless. Reality begins to break down, making less sense with everyinsight gained, and a grim and overwhelming shadow starts to settle on anincreasingly meaningless world, where the spirit of life is under attack bygreed, anger, fear and disillusionment. With everything in turmoil and the futureunder question, it slowly becomes apparent that the way forward, out of theshadow and into a world of inspiration, is going to be hard to find...***'Behind theMirror is a stimulating roller-coaster ride through the politics, personaldilemmas, mystery and magic, humor and tragedy, of the human condition inthe 21st century.
