It is early 1960s. A man in his thirties arrives at a small tavern in the mountain village. He is lost in memories at the sound of pansori sung by the tavern owner. In his memory, he is young and Yu-bong (Kim Myung-kon), a pansori singer comes to the village. A village woman, Dong-ho's (Kim Kyu-chul) mom, falls in love with Yu-bong and leaves the village with Dong-ho and Yubong. Dong-ho and his mother, Yu-bong and his daughter Song-hwa (Oh Jeong-hae), form a family. But Dong-ho's mom passes away giving birth to a baby. Yu-bong teaches pansori to Song-hwa and drumming to Dong-ho. Then the war breaks out and as it becomes more difficult to live, Dong-ho can't stand the way Yu-bong pushes Song-hwa and him to learn pansori. Eventually, Dong-ho gets into a quarrel with Yu-bong and leaves the town. After Dong-ho leaves, Song-hwa refuses food and drink, just waiting for him to return. Seeing this, Yu-bong makes Song-hwa become blind believing that one can truly learn to sing pansori only when the person has great resentment in life. Dong-ho coincidentally comes across Naksangeosa (Ahn Byung-kyung) and hears what happened to Song-hwa. After a long search for her whereabouts, he finally meets Song-hwa at a groggery. Without any word, they do pansori. Song-hwa sings and Dong-ho drums for her, resolving their deepest sorrow. When the morning arrives, Dong-ho and Song-hwa part one another without words. Song-hwa takes off with a girl guiding her way.
