In the backdrop of a mirrored Earth appearing in the sky, a woman works through the consequences of causing a horrific tragedy.

A drama through and through, and honorifically called science fiction, this is moody and slow-paced. I liked it quite a lot, not least of why is the looks of the lead character; damn.
