Reflections ~ 2017 ~ Directed by Florent Agostini ~ Running time  18:30 
Ontario Premiere 
​
In a society close to our own, where the poor take an important role in the equilibrium of the community, Leria, a young woman in need is passing a job interview.

​An open window on a parallel world presents us with a dehumanized society where citizens can no longer communicate without machines. As the third film of the Similar Mind project, REFLECTIONS serves to bring a novel perspective on poverty's place in society while denouncing an insidious standardization of misery which encourages our ignorance of the beings behind those in need.
