In a totalitarian and male chauvinist world, a female high-heeled shoe named HUA Mulan rebels against the baby shoe factory to protect her baby girl from being transformed into a male shoe. To raise her daughter, she later has to disguise herself as a male sturdy shoe and works day and night in a capitalist cigarette factory. The story is not only about a mother’s sacrifice and a feminist’s revenge, but also has a political undertone of the intoxication of power.

SHe is ZHOU Shengwei’s debut feature, completed in six years. He built this surreal world with a massive number of recycled everyday objects, and the film is composed of over 58,000 photos.

在一个由男鞋掌权的世界里，女鞋完全被当作生育机器，而她们生下的女鞋都将经过改造，成为男鞋。一只名为花木兰的高跟女鞋为了保护女儿，毅然推翻了这个“生育工厂”。然而为了将女儿养大，她不得不伪装成男鞋，进入卷烟厂工作……这一切不仅仅是关于一位母亲的牺牲、一位女性主义者的复仇，也饱含权力令人迷醉之隐喻。

《女他》是周圣崴导演的首部动画长片，历时六年制作完成。他用了大量回收而来的的生活用品来创造了这个离奇荒诞的世界，全片由58000多张照片组成。
