SYNOPSIS

Two women lead the funeral of Jinrye, matriarch of Korea’s longest-running family of Pansori masters with a history spanning 300 years.

Her daughter, Chae-seon, is celebrated as the greatest master of our time and the guardian of the Pansori tradition, and the person standing beside her is the successor of the family heritage, So-ryeon, who dreams of a path that diverges from the family legacy.

The one who enjoys the glory created by the ancestors and the other one who seeks to escape the curse of the ancestors.

Finally, the different songs from each of them begin to resonate.

DIRECTING INTENTION

An occultic Pansori film centered around a girl striving to break free from the shackles of tradition and legacy, which no one has been able to shatter under the glory of 300 years.
I aimed to create a work based on the most Korean elements, where the fiery characters clash in the ruthless circumstances.
The sharp cries of the challenger collide with the overwhelming excellence of an authentic Pansori master.
