What’s the Story About?
Set in a department store environment, Pavane follows three emotionally closed-off individuals who gradually become sources of light for one another. Mi-jung (Go Ah Sung) is a department store salesperson who keeps herself invisible, avoiding human connection at all costs. Yo-han (Byun Yo Han) works in the parking lot with a free-spirited attitude that masks his own pain. Enter Gyeong-rok (Moon Sang Min), who develops feelings for Mi-jung after meeting her at his part-time job.
The film’s title references “Pavane for a Dead Princess,” hinting at themes of mourning, healing, and second chances at happiness. It’s a slow-burn romance that explores how vulnerability can transform lives.
