Belle reimagines Beauty and the Beast as a tender exploration of identity, pain, and self-acceptance in the digital age. Suzu, a shy girl haunted by trauma, finds freedom through her virtual persona, Belle, whose voice reconnects her to the world she once feared. When she encounters the mysterious Beast, their bond becomes a mirror of their hidden wounds and longing to be understood. Through breathtaking visuals and emotionally charged music, Belle captures the struggle between hiding and healing. In the end, it reminds us that true courage lies not in perfection — but in daring to be seen as we are.
