Short description
Suzu is a 17-year-old high-school student living in a rural town with her father. Wounded by the loss of her mother at a young age, Suzu one day discovers the massive online world "U" and dives into this alternate reality as her avatar, Belle. Before long, all of U's eyes are fixed on Belle, when, suddenly, a mysterious, dragon-like figure appears before her.
What's left behind the scenes

- The original title can be translated as 'The Dragon and the Freckled Princess'.
- The film received a 14-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival.
- The film's release is timed to coincide with the 10th anniversary of Chizu studio.
