Synopsis:

Once upon a time, there was a crawling tortoise. The tortoise was told that as long as it keeps going, it will reach the goal. But, why reaching the goal? The story is a reflection of the education system in Asia. High school students aimlessly pursue the one and only goal – getting into the perfect university. But what is next?
