Dong-chun, an elementary school student overwhelmed with seven afterschool learning academies, stumbles upon a mysterious bottle of rice wine during a school retreat. As the rice wine ferments and emits strange sounds like Morse code, Dong-chun sets out to unravel its identity and discovers the secrets of the world and the reasons behind her current way of life.
The reason why elementary school students must learn grade 12 mathematics, Korean history, English, Chinese, Taekwondo, art, essay writing, and coding cannot be just to get into university and land good jobs. This movie explores the search for the answer.
