Shiro - Hero of Heroes

Six animation directors draw on the six lines of the I Ching to create distinct shorts rooted in Taiwanese vernacular culture. Blending tradition and futurity, faith and emotion, and science fiction with reality, these intersecting visions spiral toward a cold, fantastical romance in an animated void reminiscent of Black Mirror.

A young YouTuber, Princess Maria, is determined to reveal the enigmatic secrets of Madame Dolly, a sorceress who can turn lifeless dolls into human beings. But as Princess Maria delves deeper, suppressed and painful memories resurface within her…

(SERIES VERSION) A poignant, unflinching look into the future, where the cold precision of technology collides with the fragile essence of humanity. Six distinct stories unfold — each tracing a different path, yet converging on a singular question: in a future when memories can be erased, identities rewritten, and fate engineered, what remains truly ours? At the edge of civilization, love lingers in the void, freedom demands its price, and companionship becomes a quiet defiance against oblivion. Sci-fi is not merely a vision of what's to come — it is a mirror reflecting who we are, and who we might become.
