A shy, withdrawn boy has his heart set on joining his school’s theater group. When he is offered a role as a crab, what seems like a dream come true turns into a nightmare as the boy is bullied by the other castmates. Using the metaphor of the crab, this haunting animation portrays the heart-wrenching experience of social rejection.
