In a jumak (a tavern) on a small pass called Soritjae of Boseong County, South Jeolla Province, during the early 1960s, Dong-ho who is in his 30s, recalls his past as he is listening to a rendition of "pansori" sung by the jumak owner. Dong-ho and his sister were raised by the pansori singer Yu-bong, who treats them sternly and with a strict training regimen in his attempts to make serious artists of them as Yu-bong feels that a truly great pansori artist must suffer. Eventually Dong-ho runs away but his sister stays behind. Some critics have stated that this movie glorifies the father's patriarchal power as he seeks to limit his daughter's sexuality.

Un jeune homme a le projet d'écrire un livre basé sur ses rêves. Vivant seul dans un grenier, il les enregistre à l'aide d'un magnétophone avant de les porter sur un carnet à son réveil. Les rêves portent sur ses souvenirs d'enfance ou bien prennent place dans un lieu étrange qu'il ne parvient pas à reconnaître. Au cours d'un voyage avec sa petite-amie, il retourne à Sokcho, la ville où il a grandi. Se sentant mal à l'aise dans une ville qu'il ne reconnaît plus, il se rend compte que sa place n'est plus ici. À son retour, il termine le livre mais prend conscience de l'absence de sens du projet ; il s'en va après avoir brûlé le manuscrit.
