Once there was a band of four members named ‘The Magicians’. The band was happy just playing music and having their own album. They thought they’d always be like that but when Ja-eun, a peculiar guitarist, jumped off of her apartment building and died, the band stopped playing music. After Ja-eun’s death, her boyfriend Jae-sung, bought a café in a forest where Ja-eun used to go and hide. On Ja-eun’s third death memorial, one by one, the band members gather in Jae-sung’s café. Then some magic for all begins. —HanCinema
