Twee toevallige kennissen, Sergei Pshenichny en Andrei Nemchinov, worden bijna 40 jaar geleden door mysterieuze omstandigheden meegevoerd. Deze dag - 8 mei 1949 - begint zich voor hen met onverbiddelijke standvastigheid te herhalen. Het lot geeft elk van de helden een eigen kans: Andrei kan de dood van mensen in een vervallen mijn voorkomen, Sergei kan met een frisse blik naar zijn ouders kijken en ze begrijpen.
Nee, helaas is Зеркало для героя nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
