The film portrays the final song ever sung at life’s end. Based on true events, it follows the doomed romance between Kim Woo‑Jin, a married playwright, and Yun Shim‑Duk, Korea’s first professional soprano, who meet while studying at Tokyo University in the 1920s. Yun’s recording of “Death Song” later became Korea’s first pop hit in 1926.
