Unable to take any kind of vehicle due to congenital motion sickness syndrome, Manbok walks 4 hours to go to school every day. While she continues with her boring school life, her teacher asks her to join the track and field team, where she starts race walking. The film seems like it will end up with a predictable victorious ending because of the excessively funny protagonist, yet the result betrays the viewer. It teaches the older generation, who force all the people in the real world, especially the youth, to become somebody, what warm and real truth is. That is right. They are precious individuals as they are whether or not they grow up as important people. (KIM Se-jin)
