Synopsis

When a gifted but ordinary pianist discovers a forbidden etude hidden in the real world, curiosity pulls him into a realm unlike any he’s known, a heavenly bathed city, silent except for the echoes of forbidden music. Here, melodies are laws, and playing can bring salvation or ruin. Drawn to an ancient piano, he plays, unleashing a power so immense it threatens the city. A mysterious violinist intervenes, helping him stabilize the chaos, and together they briefly restore hope. But the violinist succumbs to the power she sought to control, cursing the inhabitants in madness and leaving the pianist alone amidst the ruins. Determined to restore the city and the violinist, he embarks on a perilous journey, mastering forbidden sonatas that could resurrect the dead, confronting the consequences of music wielded as both weapon and salvation. In a world where harmony can heal and dissonance destroy, he must decide whether to reclaim the past or let the melodies of loss shape the future.
