She and I
Dive into a riveting exploration of East Asian female bonds amidst the harsh tapestry of a patriarchal society. The narrative unfolds as a young Chinese girl becomes entangled in a murder case involving her flatmate—a resilient hairdresser who escaped her oppressive hometown.
Under familial control and academic stress, the girl forms a deep connection with her flatmate. As their bond deepens, the hairdresser's harrowing past emerges—unveiling a journey of sisterhood, resilience, and shared experiences.
Join this investigation and explore the truth hidden behind.
