Directed by Shuyi Li
A stop-motion adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s classic tale The Little Match Girl. On a freezing winter night, a destitute girl strikes matches to fend off the cold. With each flicker, she has fleeting visions of warmth, comfort, and hope. But when the last match burns out, the delicate boundary between imagination and the harsh reality begins to dissolve into the snow.
