Synopsis

In the dismal backdrop of New York City, Southern-belle-turned-prostitute Sunny meets the college-educated Lou, who makes a living by out-drinking people at bars.

Beatiful.This little story made my day.

Characters& Story:
7/10 (both)
Two slightly original characters accidentally meet:she's a runaway-escaped with her boyfriend from a father that was violent with her-and just became a prostitute,after her partner abandoned her, and he's an ex-farmer boy who trasferred to the city in order to make a fortune,but only ended up wasting his savings.

The Other Side of the Mirror isn’t worth your time.
