S HE

In a dystopian world, male shoes dominate and the females—high-heels with spindly vines—are kept strictly for breeding purposes. Under disguise, a female breaks loose and attempts to move beyond her confines. Her attempt alters not only her fate but the very fabric of society.

In this staggeringly unique piece of stop-motion animation, director Zhou Shengwei creates an allegorical vision in which inanimate objects rebel against the corrupt patriarchal mechanisms that trap them. Disturbing, disruptive, and propelled by righteous anger, S He is a cult film in the making.
