In Look Away, the main character is named Maria, played by India Eisley. She is an intelligent and artistic but introverted teenager who struggles with a severe lack of self-esteem and confidence. Her father, Dan (played by Jason Isaacs), is a renowned plastic surgeon who is often absent from their home, leaving Maria alone to deal with her problems.
Maria's life takes a strange turn when she discovers a mirror in the basement of her home that appears to have a mind of its own. When she looks into the mirror, she sees a reflection of herself, but with a completely different personality - confident, outgoing, and assertive. Maria begins to converse with her reflection, who she names "Airam," and soon becomes obsessed with her alter ego.
As Maria's relationship with Airam grows stronger, she starts to see changes in herself. She becomes more assertive at school and is able to stand up to bullies. Meanwhile, Airam begins to take control of Maria's life, causing her to act impulsively and dangerously. Maria's best friend, Lily (played by Penelope Mitchell), becomes suspicious of her behavior, and Dan becomes more concerned about his daughter's mental state.
The film takes a dark turn when Maria and Airam switch places, and Maria begins to live inside the mirror while Airam takes over her body. The story then follows Maria's journey to regain control of her life and stop Airam from causing any more harm.
Overall, Look Away is a psychological horror film that explores themes of self-identity, self-esteem, and the consequences of giving in to one's darkest impulses.
