Chesang, 13, asks the yomöt — the god of the wind — for help escaping marriage arranged to an old man. It sends her to find a secret flower that is full of poison, for her to use however she chooses. “A Song That Slays” is a tragedy based on the legend of a young girl who uses the mystery of nature to overcome the violence of man.
