Last Song for You

A washed-up songwriter So, who has lost his inspiration, is hospitalized due to severe gout and attempts to end his life. There, he encounters his childhood love, Ha. Shortly after their reunion, So learns from their mutual friend Bing that Ha has died from cancer. After attending Ha’s funeral, he meets a girl named Summer, who claims to be Ha’s daughter. She asks him to scatter her mother’s cremated ashes in Japan, fulfilling her final wish.

Initially hesitant, So travels to Japan and reunites with Summer at a hotel. Excited to see him, Summer tries to engage So in conversation, but he remains distant. When they have drinks at a pub and Summer plays one of So’s songs on the piano, So begins to recall memories of Ha. The two lived in Cheung Chau and met at a record shop, where they discover a shared taste in music. Later, Ha finds So in the school’s warehouse, intrigued by his emotional compositions. They start chatting frequently, with So seeking Ha’s feedback on his songs. On Ha’s encouragement, So enters a singing contest in the urban district but is eliminated when the judges dislike his original song. That same day, he encounters his father, who is cheating with another woman. Confronting his father at home, So learns that his father plans to divorce his mother. Ha intends to confess her feelings to So before learning that So’s parents are divorcing and that he will leave for Australia with his mother the following week. Heartbroken, she cries at home, comforted by her grandmother, who gives her a crystal necklace that can transport a person to their desired time and place. Wearing the necklace and making a wish, Ha finds herself in the future, at the hospital where her future self lies. The future Ha, knowing she is dying, asks Ha to find So for her, revealing that Summer is actually Ha time-traveling from the past.

Back in the present, Summer sneaks into So’s room and sends his incomplete song to a producer on So’s behalf. Initially furious, So calms down after Summer apologizes and begins to open up to her after they scatter the ashes together. However, So later tells Summer he plans to quit music, which disappoints her. She tries to motivate him by playing a song he wrote about chasing dreams. Then, she reveals she is actually Ha from the past and leaves. Before So can catch up, Ha disappears into a shrine. So returns to Hong Kong and, with Bing’s help, finds Ha’s real daughter, who gives him her mother’s crystal necklace. So wears it and makes a wish, sending him back to the past. He finds the young So and Ha at the beach, playing with friends. Ha recognizes him and takes their friends away to make room for a private chat between the two Sos. The older So plays the incomplete song to the young So who is unaware of his identity, and together they improvise the latter half. The older So also chats with young Ha, and they promise to try their best to make a difference in their future. After returning to the present, So contacts Ha, who replies, revealing she has survived through alternative treatments. They reunite at their alma mater’s warehouse, where So plays his song for her.
