During the 1850s, Kim Byung Moon saves young Seung Up from being beaten by a group of drifters. Seung Up draws him a picture to explain the reason for being beaten.

Seung Up meets Mae Hyang, a daughter of a declined Yangban (nobleman) who attracts him deeply. But, they part when she runs away from the persecution of the catholic. Seung Up leaves and wanders about in pursuit of the truth of art. Nobody can hold on to him. Only through pleasure can he eagerly stroke his paintbrush.
