In a typical rural landscape stands a pansori memorial hall, a place now ignored even by local residents. Eunsol, granddaughter of the once-renowned pansori master Park Manchun, has silently guarded this place, becoming like a relic of the past herself. Eunsol, who occasionally performs pansori for tourists, one day finds herself singing along to beats produced by Sijung, a hip-hop musician of similar age who has secretly snuck into the hall. This musical encounter gives Eunsol conviction that it might be the only hope to save the memorial hall from its impending closure.
An evocative trio of short stories following three women named Gina makes up Listening to the Voice of a Wind, a superbly made drama about hanging on to your dreams while trying to make it in a new land. Keeping the same fascinating themes while ricocheting around the country, the film expertly fuses the stories into one major artistic statement.
