Change the Shell

A hard-edged Mandarin pop-rap debut about workplace pressure, conformity and the hollow promise that changing environments will erase pain.

“Change the Shell” follows someone who files away his name, rounds off every sharp edge and starts again, only to discover the same exhaustion waiting in a different cage. Koveny (柯奕辰) does not offer an easy escape; he turns recognition itself into the first act of resistance.
