Belle
A grieving teen discovers a vibrant virtual world where she becomes the charismatic avatar Belle, and must navigate the pull between her online fame and the fragile reality of her hometown before both worlds collapse.
“You are no longer alone.”
Synopsis
Suzu is a 17-year-old high-school student living in a rural town with her father. Still grieving the loss of her mother at a young age, Suzu one day discovers the massive online world "U" and begins to immerse herself in this alternate reality through her avatar, Belle. As she spends more time in U, her life becomes increasingly intertwined with the digital realm.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 39
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
