From director Julien Chheng (Ernest & Celestine: A Trip to Gibberitia, Star Wars: Visions) and Emmy Award–winning Studio La Cachette, MU YI is a visually rich 2D animated odyssey blending Chinese mythology, time travel, and girlhood rebellion – a tale of courage, ancestral memory, and the power to shape one’s own story.

Mu Yi, 14, lives on a Chinese secluded mountain, forbidden to men. With her two friends, she encounters an opera troupe renowned for The Handsome General play. As she invites them to perform in her village, an angry Spirit awakens. To restore balance, Mu Yi embarks on a life-changing journey through old China, uncovering the secrets of love, courage and self-made destiny.
