Fei is the top violinist of an elite London youth orchestra. When another Chinese violinist arrives to challenge her place in the orchestra, Fei’s anxieties and internalised racism grow to take monstrous physical form. They whisper to her, urging her to be the best, no matter the cost.

I loved all the effects in this film and the way they were done, they could've gone traditional cgi but the fact it was stop motion added to the film and it's style
