“You are no longer alone.”
Belle (2021) charts the digital odyssey of Suzu, a 17-year-old girl from a provincial town, as she retreats into the virtual world "U" following her mother's death. There, she adopts the avatar Belle, swiftly attracting attention in this online universe. The narrative takes an enigmatic turn when a dragon-like figure emerges, challenging Suzu's constructed identity and forcing her to confront the gulf between her virtual persona and her real-life solitude.
