Facing Mirrors (آینه های روبرو) follows two very different women, Adineh and Rana, team up to claim their well-deserved freedom and happiness in this mesmerizing drama. Adineh, a rebellious and likeable trans woman, meets the conservative Rana while running away from her home and an arranged marriage. Rana is driving a taxi to pay off her imprisoned husband's debts, and her meeting with Adineh becomes the catalyst for pursuit of a better life. As the pair grow to understand one another, both women feel increasingly responsible for one another's happiness.
