After losing her son Oliver, who drowned in a car accident in India, Maria Harwood has not recovered from the tragedy. During the accident, Maria chose to save her youngest daughter, Lucy, instead of Oliver because Oliver's leg was stuck and she was unable to free it. Maria has been consumed by her guilt ever since. One night, her husband Michael finds Maria unconscious after a suicide attempt. In the hospital, Maria is comforted by her housekeeper Piki. Piki asks Maria if she wants one final chance to say goodbye to Oliver. Piki explains that she has been in a similar position and predicament, where she lost her daughter in a drowning incident due to not paying attention. According to Piki, there is an abandoned temple in her hometown where the line between the living and the dead is very thin. Maria must scatter her son's ashes at the temple steps and lock herself in. Oliver will speak to her once night falls. However, no matter what Oliver says, Maria must not open the temple door for him. Maria agrees and the pair have Oliver's body exhumed and burned. Maria notices some strange men covered in ash. Piki explains that they are Aghoris who consume the flesh of the dead and coat themselves in ash to strengthen their bonds between the worlds of the living and the dead.
The next day Maria arrives at the temple and follows Piki's instructions. Inside, she uncovers the mummified corpse of a woman. Night falls and Oliver begins talking to Maria, who apologises to Oliver for leaving him. Oliver starts pleading with Maria to open the door but she explains that she cannot do that. When Oliver says he has to leave, Maria panics, wanting more time and opens the door, but sees no one. She returns home the next day; now having closure, she focuses her attention on Michael and Lucy but doesn't tell Piki that she opened the door. Strange things start happening; their piano plays itself and Lucy tells Maria that Oliver has come back and that he is hiding from someone. Lucy also tells Maria that she should not let Michael know about Oliver's return until Oliver is ready to. In Oliver's room, a chair moves toward her, along with The Jungle Book, which Maria was reading to Oliver when he died, but never finished. Realising Oliver wants her to finish the book, she does so. Piki notices that the nearby plants have started dying and begins to realise that Maria had disobeyed her instructions at the temple.
Later, the decomposed body of Oliver appears near Lucy. Maria discovers a bloody bite mark on Lucy's shoulder when giving her a bath. Whereas Lucy was fond of Oliver's return in the past, she tells Maria that she no longer likes Oliver. She enters Oliver's room and tells him that he can't hurt Lucy. Oliver pulls out the chair and book again and Maria starts reading to him as long as he doesn't hurt Lucy. An aghori appears at the house and points behind Maria; she sees the mummified body from the temple behind her, which chases her. The next day, an outraged Piki confronts Maria and explains to her that due to her actions, Oliver's soul cannot be properly reincarnated and has become evil. She reveals to Maria that the strange figure she has been seeing is Mrtyu, the gatekeeper of the underworld, who reclaims the soul of the dead. Piki urges Maria to burn all of Oliver's possessions to break his hold on the living world.
While Piki attempts to discard and burn all of Oliver's remaining possessions, Oliver uses the guise of Piki's dead daughter to lure her to a pond and drown her. After Piki's funeral, Michael comes home and discovers Maria has finished burning Oliver's possessions. Distraught and angry, Michael does not believe Maria as she attempts to explain her actions. Reinforcing his mistrust, Lucy suddenly denies any knowledge of Oliver returning. Maria realises that Oliver has possessed Lucy. Michael believes that Maria is becoming mentally unhinged and locks her in a room.
Maria then wakes up and briefly believes that she is alive. She hears Michael's voice call out for her. She sees the temple steps and realises Michael is attempting the same ritual to bring back Maria as she did with Oliver. Maria screams for him not to open the door, and the terror repeats itself again.

Prayers are being answered and hope is restored. After years of being on the other side of the door, I am finally free from domestic violence. I can see my children grow up, get an education, and have a future. I never thought this day would come, but it did. And it's all thanks to the people who helped me along the way.
When I was first introduced to my ex-husband, I knew he was the one. We started dating and things seemed perfect. He was charming, attentive, and loving. I thought I had found my prince charming. But then things changed. Slowly but surely, he began to change. The man I had fallen in love with became a monster. He would hit me, call me names, and make me feel like I was worth nothing. I felt trapped and helpless. But I kept hoping that things would get better.
I prayed for a way out and for things to go back to the way they were before. But it seemed like my prayers were going unanswered. That is until one day when a friend of mine invited me to lunch. As we talked, she could see the bruises on my arm and the fear in my eyes. She told me about a help organization for women who were in my situation. She said they could help me get out and start over again.
Probably the easiest solution (not so easy actually) would be to print a frame thats the same dimensions as the glass door, have the hinge points on the other side and basically have a door the opens left or right
One part of our conversation focused on graduation requirements at Gateway in comparison to the entrance requirements for the University of California system. I showed my students a brief video in which our college counselors outlined and clarified both sets of requirements side-by-side.
For me, college was a transformative experience. That is definitely not to say that I loved every minute of it or that I felt fully self-realized upon graduation. Instead, during those four glorious years, I made incredible friendships, I stretched and stumbled, I confronted and clarified my values, and I started to learn what I love as a thinker and doer.
After 25 years working in schools to facilitate individual and social change, I am excited to share my reflections on learning and leading. Everyday Leadership is about the ways we cultivate our own leadership, as well as help others discover their unique power and potential. It's about the importance of great teachers and schools, the value of diversity, and most importantly, it's about what we can each do to make a positive difference in our world.
When you change the direction of the door swing using this method below, the inside of the door becomes the outside, and the outside becomes the inside, so make sure you have a door that is the same on both sides.
Using your buddy, remove the door from the door jam. The door hinges should be unscrewed from the jamb using your drill, and the other side of the hinge left on the door for now. Take the door to a flat surface where you can work on it. (I set mine on a set of sawhorses.)
Take note of where the edge of the hinge is in relation to the edge of the door because you want to make sure the hinge is installed at about the same depth on the door as it was before once you flip the hinge over.
Remove the old hinges from the existing door. You will be flipping them around so that the hinge pins are facing the opposite way. (For example, if the hinge pins are facing up right now on your door, you are going to want to flip those so they are facing down.)
Now you can re-install the hinges the opposite way, and those toothpicks and glue will allow your hinge screws something to bite into. I drilled pilot holes to make sure my screws ended up in the right location.
Before you do any patching in the old door jam, measure out the location of each of the hinges from the top of the door and transfer those measurements to the opposite side of the doorjamb. Measure the location of the top and the bottom of the recessed hinge area as well as the depth of it from the front of the jam to the back.
Once you have the opposite side marked, you can chisel out the recess for the hinge plate. Use one of the hinges and trace around it on the door jamb. Use a chisel (or a router can also be used) to remove just enough depth from that area so that the hinge sits flush against the door jamb. Repeat for the top, middle, and bottom hinge.
