Musician Sander Columbus was immersed in the pain of bereavement, and took his two daughters away from the hustle and bustle, living a secluded life, and the only thing that did not stop in life was the thought of his wife and the resulting sound creation.

Later, a handsome man with blond hair came to Sander's house, his name was Marles, to learn cello and music from Sander. Because of his confidence in his musical talent, Marais could not bear to spend his life in his father's shoe store. The future must be as bright as his handsome countenance, and the whispers of the storm that Sander had told him, the rhythms of the paintbrush, which seeped out of a too gloomy life, he didn't need them. What he needed was the title of musician of the Palace of Versailles, the fiery admiration of the crowd, and the splendid life of a drunken fan.

Infuriated by the news that Marles had accepted the title of Versailles, he smashed Marles' violin, and the break between master and apprentice did not stop Marles from chasing fame, he went faster and smoother, because he got a more suitable teacher than Cologne, Madeleine, the eldest daughter of Cologne. Their beginnings must have really fallen in love, so Marais would do "The Girl in the Dream", but when his clothes became more and more glamorous, when his makeup became thicker and thicker, their love was destined to be as pale as each other's faces. It's just that women are haggard because of heartbreak, and men forget the beginning in ethereal glitz.

Ten years later, marles, who had achieved fame, walked to Madeleine's bedside, and the once dancing girl was now skinny, with desperate expectations and vicious curses radiating from her eyes. He played "The Girl of Dreams" for her one last time, and as the carriage carrying him out the window drove away, Madeleine trembled into the room, took out the dancing shoes that his sister had entrusted to her after the breakup, and ended her painful life with pink shoelaces.

Madeleine's suicide moved Marais's heart. So, every night, he sneaked into Sander's cabin and hid under the window to listen to the teacher's murmurs, just as he and Madeleine had been hiding from Sander's playing years earlier.

Eventually one day, Sander opened the door and looked at Marais. He asked Marais, "Do you understand?" What is music for. Ten years ago, Marais couldn't answer the question, he drove him away, and lost his daughter as a result. Ten years later, this man who waited in the night rain with tears in his eyes already understood that the thunderous applause was only instantaneous, and the low groan in the rainstorm was eternal.

Sander took out the score, and Marais finally saw the score he had been thinking about day and night, "The Grave of Sorrows", but at this moment, he was no longer ecstatic, his fingertips lightly touching the dull score, silent. In a bean-lit hut, the two masters and apprentices sat facing each other...
