Mirrors (French: Miroirs d'été) is a Canadian short drama film, directed by Étienne Desrosiers and released in 2007.[1] The film stars Xavier Dolan as Julien, a shy and withdrawn teenager who is spending the summer with his family at a lake cottage, and experiences a sexual awakening when he develops a romantic interest in older neighbour Hervé (Stéphane Demers).[2]

The cast also includes André Nadeau and Julie Beauchemin as Julien's parents, Maxime Allaire as his younger brother Antoine, and Patrick Martin as a teenage boy, never named, who is a rival for Hervé's affections.

The film was labelled as Dolan's breakthrough acting role as an adult, after having previously performed exclusively in children's roles.[3]

The film was subsequently included in Bad Romance, the seventh edition of the Boys on Film series of gay-themed short film DVDs,[4] and as a bonus feature on the DVD release of Dolan's directoral debut film I Killed My Mother (J'ai tué ma mère).
