"Can one day shape the rest of your life?"

The Suneung is South Korea's national entrance exam. The best results give access to the best universities in the country. Thousands of students participate every year. The news reports live, during the listening part of the English section, air traffic is stopped for half an hour and students who are likely to be late can ask for a police escort. The documentary follows a few young people and shows how they deal with the exam and the stress in different ways. Each of them looks for tools to succeed. Many follow tutoring or impose an iron discipline.
