From Oscar®-nominated director Mamoru Hosada and Studio Chizu (Mirai, Wolf Children, Summer Wars) comes this fantastical, eye-popping animation about a shy teenager who becomes an online sensation as a princess of pop.

Suzu is a 17-year-old in a rural village. Finding it difficult to cope with everyday life, she instead regularly escapes into ‘U’, a virtual world where she transforms into an unlikely alter ego: enchanting, globally-beloved singer Belle.

As her star rises, she finds herself drawn to another fan favourite - a scary but soulful creature. Together, they embark on a journey of adventures, challenges and love, in their quest to become who they truly are.
