Synopsis

The film begins with Tae-il's back looking at ocean waves. Tae-il, who is writing a song about the sea but can't complete it, goes to a country village to meet Jiwon, who had been in a band with him in the past. He meets her working at a music academy there and a rock band of middle school students she teaches. Spending time with the students who are clumsy but full of passion for music and Jiwon who still has sincere affection towards music, he recalls the happiest past time with music.

The reality is tough. The music industry scene chasing commercialism does not fully accept the music Tae-il dreams of. The gap between reality and dream, the tension between Tae-il and Jiwon, and the growing pains of students who dream of rock music. They are the main themes that lead the film.

Da capo does not abandon warmth and hope even in the anxiety and agitation of the characters on the base of deep understanding and affection for music. With two talented musicians, HONG Isaac from JTBC's audition program [Superband], and genius guitarist JANG Ha-eun, the film confesses deep affection for music and musicians. Also, director SHIM Chan-yang's maniac talent for cinema has given birth to a beautiful film of coming-of-age and a young and deep music film. A film that can measure the future of Korean music films.​ (MAENG Soo-jin)
