Synopsis

Where is a child destined to go? If the whole world revolves around the child's direction, how brave must his steps be? 

Review

 To what extent can modern urban children be allowed to find their own way? The Stinging Foot visualizes walking in the city. Where can they go, and how far can they go? However, it is dangerous to explore the city streets because they are full of things that are too fast and strong. The city also guides people to efficient routes. Getting lost in society with navigation is unnecessary. The city streets are dangerous with road signs that inform people of the right ways and prohibited ways. They do not permit the adventure of encountering various things like fairytales and path-finding with unexpected joys and lessons.
