Machisu, the only son of a rich collector, has a child’ love for painting. Praise from a famous artist friend of his father inspires the young boy to dream of becoming a painter himself. He begins to paint everyday and everywhere, even during class, to the dismay of his teacher. When tragedy strikes, little Machisu’ privileged life ends, leaving him orphaned, but with an incomparable passion for art. Upon reaching middle age, Machisu has yet to sell a painting. But he remains dedicated, supported by his devoted wife Sachiko, who has become his creative partner. With each new work, Machisu tries to push himself to greater limits of inspiration. Hungry for recognition, their creative attempts escalate beyond what neighbors and even their own teenage daughter Mari can tolerate. Will Achilles ever overtake the Tortoise?
