About My Mulan

A Modern dancer, Michelle (MuZi), starts training at a world-renowned dance program. After seeing all the amazing talent that is present, she begins to fold under pressure and lose confidence in herself. While in class one day, she is introduced to the story of MuLan and becomes inspired. Plunging into the chronicles of history, she commences a journey of self-discovery with MuLan that will transcend generations.
