Synopsis
A grieving woman sits alone in a parked car, studying a photograph of herself with a man who is no longer there. As Finger Eleven perform in a dimly lit parking lot, she begins seeing the man's image in mirrors, reflections, and around the city. She follows these visions into a late-night shop, where multiple versions of him appear between the aisles. In the restroom, her distress intensifies before the final reflection reveals the absent man's perspective, ending on the damaged photograph.
