In a jumak (a tavern) on a small pass called Soritjae of Boseong County, South Jeolla Province, the early 1960s, Dong-ho in his 30s recalls his past as listening to a measure of pansori sung by the jumak's owner. He and his sister were raised by the pansori singer Yu-bong, who is very cruel to them and even blinds the sister. Apparently (and this is confirmed in a 2000 interview with the film's director) this is done to make them better pansori singers. Since pansori is like American blues music, Yu-bong feels that a truly great pansori artist must suffer.) Eventually the boy runs away but the girl stays on. Some critics have stated that this movie glorifies the father's patriarchial power as he seeks to limit his daughter's transgressive sexuality. But most believe that the girl symbolizes South Korea, transcending a history of suffering to achieve greatness.
