Mirrors No. 3 (2025) Movie Script
Where were you?
I couldn't reach you!
I think I lost my bag.
Roger and Debbie are downstairs.
What's that?
A Dutch artist.
Early 80s.
Mathilde Santing.
- No, the synth.
I knew you'd ask!
An 'Elka Wilgamat 2'.
They don't make it anymore?
- No.
But you can find them.
In Italy.
It must be very...
- Very, very small!
Laura?
Yes?
- Didn't you hear?
No.
- What key?
The song.
Debbie's asking for the key.
Wait.
B-flat major.
B-flat major.
- I was right!
We'll leave from here
and go around this way...
It's a great place,
you're going to love it.
Perfect for diving,
the water is crystal clear.
What's up with your friend?
Look!
I'll go check...
Where's your bag?
We're leaving now.
I want to go home.
- What?
Jakob... I don't feel well.
What's wrong?
What's the matter with her?
She doesn't know.
She wants to go home.
Here,
take her to the station.
We'll wait for you here.
That's okay, right?
Is that okay with you?
Don't give me a guilt trip, okay?
You know how important this is to me.
If you'd said so in Berlin,
you'd have saved yourself all this!
And you wanted to come!
Sorry!
Where did she come from?
No, don't move!
There! Just stay calm...
Careful.
I'll run home
and call an ambulance.
No, don't leave!
Are you okay? Come on.
Careful...
She was incredibly lucky.
Really?
Just a cut on her back.
She doesn't need stitches.
Are you related?
Friends, then?
No.
She'd like to stay with you.
With me?
- Yes, and not go to the hospital.
I have no objection,
but if you'd rather not...
No, it's fine!
I hope you feel better.
I could...
I mean... she can stay here.
I have enough room,
so it's fine with me.
You're not taking her?
- No, she's staying here.
Yes.
Yes, for now,
she's staying here with me.
But what about you?
Me?
Seeing that young man,
it must have been terrible.
Yes.
It was.
If I have more questions,
I know where to find her.
I have to go.
- Me too.
If anything comes up,
give me a call, okay?
It's unbelievable...
Oh, I almost forgot!
In three days, if you don't mind,
change her bandage.
Bandage and some iodine.
Got it?
- Yes.
Good luck, then.
- Thank you.
Can I stay here?
I don't want to go to the hospital.
Come on.
Let's get you to bed.
Come on.
I'm Laura.
Betty.
Good morning!
Good morning!
Coffee or tea?
Coffee.
I prefer that too.
I laid out some clothes for you.
They should fit.
Thanks. I saw them.
Don't you like them?
I do!
Can I shower first?
Sorry!
Yes, of course!
It's across from your room.
The towels are under the sink.
Yelena?
Laura?
Your wound shouldn't get wet.
We'll protect it.
Betty?
Could I paint with you?
I think I'd like that.
I liked watching you work.
Why are you laughing?
It reminded me...
What?
Tom Sawyer.
Tom Sawyer
was always getting into trouble.
To punish him,
his aunt made him paint the fence.
So he couldn't go to the river
to fish with his friends.
He was desperate,
but he always had plenty of ideas.
When his friends came to get him
and saw him painting the fence,
he looked very concentrated
and painted with devotion.
They asked if he was coming,
and he said, 'No,
I have much better things to do here.'
So they gathered around him,
watching him,
and he pretended to be very absorbed.
One asked, 'Can I paint too?'
Tom said, 'No way!'
They offered money, he played hard to get,
and in the end, they all paid.
And in the end,
they painted the fence,
while Tom lay in the grass
counting his money.
That sounds like you.
Here.
Thanks.
Old hags...
Let's put it here.
Thanks!
My herb garden.
Very neglected.
Like a lot of things around here.
Are those weeds?
No!
This here is 'red dead-nettle'.
A type of nettle, it tastes the same.
In an infusion.
This is 'pineapple sage'.
It's very good. Taste it!
This here...
is 'nasturtium'.
It's edible and delicious.
Really?
- Yes, taste it!
The whole thing?
- Yes!
We put it in salads.
Go on, eat it!
I shouldn't have gone.
Jakob was furious
about having to drive me back.
I would've told him...
- Laura!
This weekend with his producer
was important to him.
Laura!
It's not your fault!
It's the kitchen faucet.
It's broken.
The washer.
I'll put this in the dishwasher.
- No!
The dishwasher is broken.
Like everything else here, I know.
I can wash this.
No! Don't wash anything.
Go up to bed.
Good morning!
Morning.
Do you play the piano?
It's out of tune.
So you do play...
I'm going to the village for groceries.
I'll be about an hour.
Your breakfast is there,
and some coffee, okay?
Can I come?
Yes... of course.
But the seat post
on the other bike is broken.
I'd like to cook for you.
You don't have to.
No, really, I'd like to.
All right.
Do you have a specialty
or a favorite dish?
Yes.
What?
'Knigsberg meatballs'.
What?!
'Knigsberg meatballs'?
Sorry, I can also...
No, it's just that...
My men love them,
and it's the only dish I mess up.
Which men?
Richard and Max.
My husband and my son.
Let's invite them.
The men?
- Yes!
I mean... if you don't mind.
No, not at all.
Well, if they're coming,
since they're handymen,
If they see the dishwasher is broken
or the faucet,
goodbye dinner!
They'll start fixing it right away,
they're crazy, I'm telling you!
I can already hear them
talking about our fence:
'It's anything but well painted!'
So not a word about the piano
or the faucet!
Promise me!
Hello.
So...
Let's see.
Enjoy your meal!
With this setting,
it's as if the car wasn't moving.
If you go to the mechanic
or if you sell it,
you enter the code here.
I won't do it now,
or the GPS will pick it up.
When you get it back,
re-enter your chosen number.
That's it, really.
Thank you.
- Count it again...
Yes, Betty.
What is it?
Yes, he's here.
No, everything's fine.
No, you shouldn't.
You really shouldn't.
Please...
Stop it!
She's inviting us to dinner.
We need to bring wine,
there's something to celebrate.
Is that how she said it?
She's stopped her medication.
Shit...
Good evening, Betty.
Good evening.
Good evening, Mom.
- Good evening, dear.
Come on, sit down!
Betty, what's this?
What's what?
You know very well.
- I know what?
All this!
Oh, that?
She's coming.
Mom, that's enough.
Careful, it's hot!
I'm Laura.
I'm a student in Berlin.
I was in a car accident,
my boyfriend died,
I was unhurt.
Betty found me and took me in.
She told me you like this,
I hope it's good.
Thank you.
Enjoy your meal.
Is it dripping again?
The valve was new, wasn't it?
Please!
First, we eat.
Afterwards, you can fix
whatever you want.
The dishwasher is broken.
Come on, Laura...
It's not leaking anymore.
You can put it back together!
The faucet is fixed.
If we're lucky, the dishwasher
is just the impeller.
The meal was excellent.
Thank you.
Really very, very good.
It's been a long time
since we spent an evening together.
Even before.
A very long time.
And...
so maybe we're a little weird.
Weird?
No!
Weird isn't the word.
Idiots, more like!
Laura spent the day cooking,
she made a magnificent dinner
and you just sit there,
not a single compliment,
no courtesy, no manners!
Idiots,
that's the right word!
Give me a cigarette anyway.
By the way, Yelena's bike
is still broken
and her piano is out of tune.
We were lucky.
This thing was blocking the wheel.
Max?
I have to see my father.
He's not here.
His car is here.
He's at the river with Betty.
Doing what?
Picking plums.
Why?
For a cake.
I'm going down.
They wanted to be alone, I think.
They won't be long.
Coffee?
Who's that?
We're tuning the piano.
I study piano at the 'UdK',
and Betty's been pushing me to work.
Do you like it?
This?
Gardening.
Yes!
I never would've thought.
Is it...
like therapy for you?
Yes.
Maybe.
Definitely, even.
What are you doing here?
I need the Mercedes key.
By the fuse box.
When's the client coming?
- 4:30.
In 20 minutes.
Take the car.
And you?
I'll take your bike.
Can you take the black bike
and weld the seat post?
Laura needs a bike.
Yes, he'll do it!
Load up the bike!
And take Laura with you.
Why?
You need to adjust the height.
Shit...
What an asshole...
Got anything to drink?
In the fridge.
Can I have a beer?
Alright, fine.
Want one?
Don't look, okay?
Never look at the flame.
Max!
We have company.
So...
This shows the car is at your place.
The only important thing is,
if you're at the mechanic's
or selling it,
enter this codeit's 0000 for now
to go back to factory settings.
Same thing to switch it back.
Thanks.
There you go!
Try it out.
Max?
Something's not right.
What?
I can't turn!
What's this?
Okay, I see. Get off.
Hold it steady.
Okay.
Get back on.
Lean on it.
Try it now.
Is that better?
Are you guys criminals?
What?
Well, those people...
No, of course not!
We're just blocking the GPS signal.
Manufacturers track cars with that.
Some people don't want that.
Okay.
Take it for a spin.
It's fine.
Max!
Yeah?
Can you take Laura home?
I have to do the brakes on the BMW.
I'll handle it.
Go the back way,
avoid the accident site...
See you tomorrow, Laura.
Shouldn't we have turned right?
No.
You sure?
No!
You okay?
Oh shit...
Max?
Yeah?
What did Richard whisper to you?
He told me
to avoid the accident site,
to take a detour,
because of the trauma...
So, next right,
go up a bit and you're there.
Can you find it?
Okay, see you tomorrow.
What's happening tomorrow?
Plum tart?
Oh, right!
Well, come on...
Will you sit with me?
Yes, I'd love to.
I'll get you a glass.
No, I'll get it!
Laura?
I'm so glad you're here.
Personally, I prefer yeast dough.
No! Shortcrust is better, it's crispier,
yeast dough tastes musty!
Musty?!
Yes, shortcrust is crispy,
the taste is totally different!
Well, put a plum on a biscuit,
it's the same thing!
But it's not a biscuit, for heaven's sake!
'I like it' isn't an argument!
Yes it is, when it comes to cooking,
it's the only one!
Are those the ones from the other day?
No, they're different.
Why are they doing that?
Richard, can I have another?
Thanks.
Laura...
Would you play the piano for me?
Now?
Please...
Sorry, it was a silly idea,
you don't have to.
No, really, Laura...
- Yes!
No!
... because of the accident...
... I know, no idea...
... Yelena's room...
... it needs to be redone...
... will it take long?...
... with her?
- a few days...
Laura?
Yes?
Can you finish this on your own?
I have to get back to the workshop.
Sure, no problem.
Are you taking some cake with you?
No.
I really have to go.
The dishwasher exploded.
What?
I was outside, there was a bang
and lots of smoke.
Did you unplug it?
- Yes.
Did the fuses blow?
I don't think so.
Oh, shit...
It's dangerous! Did you show it to my father?
No.
Why not?
I couldn't find him. I think they want
to be alone.
Want a beer?
Okay.
Shall we sit?
Thanks.
The piano was beautiful.
Thanks.
I haven't played in a long time.
Why?
The guy in the car,
he was your boyfriend, right?
Aren't you really sad?
Actually, no.
Not really.
I know I should be, but...
I'm not.
We weren't really together anymore.
You'd still be sad...
What was that song?
Just before?
You stopped it.
- I don't know.
It was a playlist.
It was good.
Can I hear it again?
Now?
Laura?
I have to tell you something.
Max, come here!
What is it?
Come here!
Laura!
You could've been electrocuted.
Betty feels terrible.
But nothing happened!
Go to her.
She's really upset.
I'm coming too.
- No, you stay here.
You can find your way, right?
Be careful.
Tomorrow, Richard and I
are going to Berlin,
to buy a dishwasher.
Maybe you want to come along?
Maybe you want to pick up
some of your things?
Could I stay here?
Of course.
Of course you can stay here.
I like it here.
Yes.
I brought some cake.
And some cream.
Do you have any coffee?
Yes.
But it's from yesterday,
it's no good anymore.
Can I make some fresh?
Of course.
Do you have time to take a break?
Yes, yes...
No music today?
Laura?
I have to tell you something.
Stop!
Laura!
I'm sorry!
I didn't mean to do that, Laura!
I didn't mean to do that!
Laura!
You are not Yelena!
You are not my sister!
What are you talking about?
Yelena was my sister!
She killed herself!
You wear her clothes,
you play her piano!
You're supposed to replace her.
My parents are sick!
You're all sick, you too!
Laura?
Laura?
Laura!
Laura...
It wasn't like that at all...
I... I wanted...
... for us...
... we...
When Yelena killed herself...
... I was alone.
So alone that I went crazy.
And I lost Max and Richard too.
And then...
And then you came along!
I wasn't alone anymore!
It wasn't that you replaced her...
I...
We love you!
Get out!
Well...
Thank you for everything!
How many days has it been? Nine?
Pardon?
So... 500?
I can transfer more,
you've had expenses...
Please...
Take it!
What you did for my daughter
wasn't a given.
As you wish.
I can't take it anymore.
Mom!
Mom!
- Betty!
Come on, eat something.
Can I have a cigarette?
I'd like to redo Yelena's room.
And...
we'll give her things
to charity.
Good.
Nothing is 'good'.
I'm worried.
About Laura.
Of course, about Laura.
I need to know how she is.
I need to know, Richard.
But is she playing?
Yes, apparently.
Where is that?
In a park near the 'UdK'.
Stop!
Go back.
Yes.
Stop!
Did she see you?
No.
It looks like it, though.
No, impossible.
Besides, I was in disguise.
Disguised?
Hoodie, sunglasses, etc.
She doesn't look okay.
What do you mean?
Laura!
I mean, she looks...
relaxed and in a good mood!
She looks sad.
Mom! I was there all day...
She's fine!
- But look...
She's not okay.
You just don't see it.
I'm getting a beer.
Do you want one?
Mom?
- Me too, thanks.
Laura has an audition
tomorrow afternoon.
The audition is public.
At the 'UdK',
4:30 PM.
How do you know that?
- We're going.
Mom, stop...
We're going.
Betty...
Do you think it will help her
if she sees us?
It's her exam,
we can't do that to her!
Bernard Mangiante

You need to adjust the height.
Shit...
What an asshole...
Got anything to drink?
In the fridge.
Can I have a beer?
Alright, fine.
Want one?
Don't look, okay?
Never look at the flame.
Max!
We have company.
So...
This shows the car is at your place.
The only important thing is,
if you're at the mechanic's
or selling it,
enter this codeit's 0000 for now
to go back to factory settings.
Same thing to switch it back.
Thanks.
There you go!
Try it out.
Max?
Something's not right.
What?
I can't turn!
What's this?
Okay, I see. Get off.
Hold it steady.
Okay.
Get back on.
Lean on it.
Try it now.
Is that better?
Are you guys criminals?
What?
Well, those people...
No, of course not!
We're just blocking the GPS signal.
Manufacturers track cars with that.
Some people don't want that.
Okay.
Take it for a spin.
It's fine.
Max!
Yeah?
Can you take Laura home?
I have to do the brakes on the BMW.
I'll handle it.
Go the back way,
avoid the accident site...
See you tomorrow, Laura.
Shouldn't we have turned right?
No.
You sure?
No!
You okay?
Oh shit...
Max?
Yeah?
What did Richard whisper to you?
He told me
to avoid the accident site,
to take a detour,
because of the trauma...
So, next right,
go up a bit and you're there.
Can you find it?
Okay, see you tomorrow.
What's happening tomorrow?
Plum tart?
Oh, right!
Well, come on...
Will you sit with me?
Yes, I'd love to.
I'll get you a glass.
No, I'll get it!
Laura?
I'm so glad you're here.
Personally, I prefer yeast dough.
No! Shortcrust is better, it's crispier,
yeast dough tastes musty!
Musty?!
Yes, shortcrust is crispy,
the taste is totally different!
Well, put a plum on a biscuit,
it's the same thing!
But it's not a biscuit, for heaven's sake!
'I like it' isn't an argument!
Yes it is, when it comes to cooking,
it's the only one!
Are those the ones from the other day?
No, they're different.
Why are they doing that?
Richard, can I have another?
Thanks.
Laura...
Would you play the piano for me?
Now?
Please...
Sorry, it was a silly idea,
you don't have to.
No, really, Laura...
- Yes!
No!
... because of the accident...
... I know, no idea...
... Yelena's room...
... it needs to be redone...
... will it take long?...
... with her?
- a few days...
Laura?
Yes?
Can you finish this on your own?
I have to get back to the workshop.
Sure, no problem.
Are you taking some cake with you?
No.
I really have to go.
The dishwasher exploded.
What?
I was outside, there was a bang
and lots of smoke.
Did you unplug it?
- Yes.
Did the fuses blow?
I don't think so.
Oh, shit...
It's dangerous! Did you show it to my father?
No.
Why not?
I couldn't find him. I think they want
to be alone.
Want a beer?
Okay.
Shall we sit?
Thanks.
The piano was beautiful.
Thanks.
I haven't played in a long time.
Why?
The guy in the car,
he was your boyfriend, right?
Aren't you really sad?
Actually, no.
Not really.
I know I should be, but...
I'm not.
We weren't really together anymore.
You'd still be sad...
What was that song?
Just before?
You stopped it.
- I don't know.
It was a playlist.
It was good.
Can I hear it again?
Now?
Laura?
I have to tell you something.
Max, come here!
What is it?
Come here!
Laura!
You could've been electrocuted.
Betty feels terrible.
But nothing happened!
Go to her.
She's really upset.
I'm coming too.
- No, you stay here.
You can find your way, right?
Be careful.
Tomorrow, Richard and I
are going to Berlin,
to buy a dishwasher.
Maybe you want to come along?
Maybe you want to pick up
some of your things?
Could I stay here?
Of course.
Of course you can stay here.
I like it here.
Yes.
I brought some cake.
And some cream.
Do you have any coffee?
Yes.
But it's from yesterday,
it's no good anymore.
Can I make some fresh?
Of course.
Do you have time to take a break?
Yes, yes...
No music today?
Laura?
I have to tell you something.
Stop!
Laura!
I'm sorry!
I didn't mean to do that, Laura!
I didn't mean to do that!
Laura!
You are not Yelena!
You are not my sister!
What are you talking about?
Yelena was my sister!
She killed herself!
You wear her clothes,
you play her piano!
You're supposed to replace her.
My parents are sick!
You're all sick, you too!
Laura?
Laura?
Laura!
Laura...
It wasn't like that at all...
I... I wanted...
... for us...
... we...
When Yelena killed herself...
... I was alone.
So alone that I went crazy.
And I lost Max and Richard too.
And then...
And then you came along!
I wasn't alone anymore!
It wasn't that you replaced her...
I...
We love you!
Get out!
Well...
Thank you for everything!
How many days has it been? Nine?
Pardon?
So... 500?
I can transfer more,
you've had expenses...
Please...
Take it!
What you did for my daughter
wasn't a given.
As you wish.
I can't take it anymore.
Mom!
Mom!
- Betty!
Come on, eat something.
Can I have a cigarette?
I'd like to redo Yelena's room.
And...
we'll give her things
to charity.
Good.
Nothing is 'good'.
I'm worried.
About Laura.
Of course, about Laura.
I need to know how she is.
I need to know, Richard.
But is she playing?
Yes, apparently.
Where is that?
In a park near the 'UdK'.
Stop!
Go back.
Yes.
Stop!
Did she see you?
No.
It looks like it, though.
No, impossible.
Besides, I was in disguise.
Disguised?
Hoodie, sunglasses, etc.
She doesn't look okay.
What do you mean?
Laura!
I mean, she looks...
relaxed and in a good mood!
She looks sad.
Mom! I was there all day...
She's fine!
- But look...
She's not okay.
You just don't see it.
I'm getting a beer.
Do you want one?
Mom?
- Me too, thanks.
Laura has an audition
tomorrow afternoon.
The audition is public.
At the 'UdK',
4:30 PM.
How do you know that?
- We're going.
Mom, stop...
We're going.
Betty...
Do you think it will help her
if she sees us?
It's her exam,
we can't do that to her!
