A woman wakes up, noticing her facial skin is peeling off. In fear, she walks up to a mirror to take a look. Simultaneously, in a world on the other side of the mirror, a man covered in ice and snow, wakes up. The ice man represents a part of her identity she has neglected. He reaches out to her through the mirror to assist her transformation. As her old skin sheds, a new identity emerges.
