Description
Erik Satie's life has been reduced to a single memory: his time at the Chat Noir. Now, in limbo, he reflects on the choices that defined him - and those that didn't. In Venice, 1511, Oliva is about to take her vows when an earthquake shakes her world, forcing her to question everything she thought she knew. Her portrait painter, Signor Avílo, brings a mysterious object: a mirror. As she gazes into its depths, reflections become a threat to her very existence. These two tales of art and devotion explore the human experience in different ways - one a tentative beginning, the other a life lived without compromise.
