The emotional soundtrack of Mirror Stacy, directed by Arabella Sharkey and composed by Rubén Gallardo, will be available on all digital platforms starting Monday, October 6. A musical work that promises to touch the soul.

Mirror Stacy has captivated international festivals with its profound narrative and sensitive approach to complex themes. The story follows a middle-aged woman on the brink of suicide, who is stopped by her younger self, emerging from the mirror in her room to transport her back to her childhood bedroom and remind her of the inner child she had forgotten.
The soundtrack of this moving story, which masterfully accompanies every scene, has been carefully composed to blend elements of classical music with modern touches, creating a unique atmosphere that perfectly complements the visual narrative. Each musical piece has been designed to resonate with the audience, evoking a wide range of emotions—from despair to hope.

The Creative Process of Rubén Gallardo:
With over a decade of experience in composing soundtracks, he shares his insights on creating the music for Mirror Stacy:
"When I received the script for Mirror Stacy, I was deeply moved by the story. The idea of a woman encountering her younger self in a mirror struck me as a powerful metaphor for the loss of innocence and the connection with the past.
My goal was to create a soundtrack that reflected this duality between adulthood and childhood, using instruments that evoke nostalgia and hope. It was a challenging but rewarding process, and I’m excited for the audience to experience the music alongside the film."
