Challenges of a solitary mind

A snail body with fancy boots opens the film as she confidently strides onto the scene and instantly establishes her most distinctive characteristics: The snail is simultaneously hard and tender with her ever-present house, at once introverted and open, eager to be on the move even if slower than other life forms – but even this assessment only results from a relativizing comparison. (A very funny joke goes: What does the snail sitting on a turtle say when the turtle starts to walk? – “Weeeh!!!”)
