At the foot of the Alps, a high-end resort hotel attracts guests from all over the world. Aristocrats, wealthy businessmen, musicians, directors, living Buddhas, Miss Universe, Hollywood stars, and sports superstars are all frequent visitors here. There are unparalleled scenery here, as well as first-class spa, massage and performing arts, like a paradise.

Retired composer and conductor Fred declined an invitation to perform from the Queen of England. His works are widely circulated and famous all over the world. In the blink of an eye, he felt that the fire of his life was dying out, and he was ready to quietly exit the stage.

His close friend and relative Mick, as a famous director who has made dozens of films, has great ambitions, and he is preparing his own film. He came here with Fred, to accompany his old friend and to finalize the script as quickly as possible.

The arrival of Miss Universe caused a ripple in Fred's heart. That night, he dreamed that he passed by Miss Universe. Facing the charming aura of the youthful body, he felt that the tide drowned him instantly. He understands that he is old.

He and Mick are both successful and famous, but now, they are both facing the torment of prostatitis, and a happy urination is an extravagant hope. The two exchanged their illnesses and prayed that God would not torture themselves too much.

Hollywood star Jimmy, troubled by his inability to get into his new role, complained to Fred that he had played so many roles that people only remembered Mr. Q the robot. Just like Fred's book, people only remember "Simple Movement".

Fred's daughter, Lena, is also his assistant. Lena told her father that the publisher had been trying to persuade him to write a memoir, and Fred refused. She reminded him that he hadn't seen her mother Melanie in ten years.

Fred and Mick go out for a walk, and after all these years, they still can't forget their mutual first love, the teenage girl Gilda. Fred asked Mick if he had ever had close contact with Gilda, but Mick said with a sense of loss that he had forgotten.

Without warning, Lena's husband Julian has a new love, and the two face breaking up. Lena was heartbroken. Fred and Mick questioned Julian, but the answer was that the new girlfriend's bed skills were top-notch.

Fred wanted to comfort Lena, but Lena broke out, complaining that his father didn't care about himself at all, didn't care about the family, and his life was only music, which was very sad.

The Queen of England once again sent an envoy to invite Fred to perform "Simple Movement". In desperation, Fred had to explain the real reason to him. This work was dedicated to his wife and could only be sung by her. He didn't like what others sang. Lena has a new understanding of her father.

Fred was tired, and the massage girl told him that her fingers could hear his sadness.

Mick and the young screenwriter team discuss how the script ends while watching the scene. He excitedly told them that "The Last Day of Life" would be a masterpiece, and he would invite Brenda, the actress he held in his own hands, to play the leading role.

Lina's figure and temperament attracted the men in the hotel. The mountaineer sent her a love signal, and she tried to get herself out of the trough.

Hotel guests live at their own pace. Maradona is star of stars, signing autographs for fans, swimming on oxygen and playing tennis in solitude. A silent noble couple ran into the forest to have sex, and suddenly broke out in the restaurant.

Jimmy chats with Fred, asking about his past with Russian composer Stravinsky. Fred only told him that he was a peaceful man. In fact, Stravinsky was one of his secrets, and they sparked a collaboration that even influenced his sexuality.

The little boy playing the violin gets pointers from Fred, and they see their future and their past in each other.

The little girl who bit her finger told Jimmy that she liked a father he played. The son in the movie asks the father: Why haven't you been a good father? Father replied: I was not ready at that time. Maybe everyone is the same, not ready when. Jimmy challenges himself in a Hitler costume, but doesn't want to play the part. Because he wants to deduce desire, even immoral desire.

In the celestial hot spring, Miss Universe came, Fred and Mick were stunned for a while. The young body is God.

Actress Brenda visits, and she tells Mick that she won't be performing his new work. Brenda showed Mick that everything she had was earned through her own efforts, not his gift. The two broke up. This dealt a huge blow to Mick. Fragile Mick seeks solace in a hotel prostitute.

Sending away the young man of the writing team, Mick fell into a trance, and dozens of heroines in his films appeared in front of him at the same time. Taigang is easy to break, and while chatting with Fred, Mick suddenly jumped off and ended his own life, writing the ending for "The Last Day of Life" with actions.

Brenda, who was returning, got the news of Mick's suicide on the plane, and suddenly collapsed, hoping that Mick would forgive herself.

The massage girl is still dancing electronically. She loves life, enjoys youth, and has infinite vitality.

The Living Buddha, who believed that he would float, finally got rid of the ground.

Lena and the mountaineer fall in love.

Fred decided to accept the Queen's invitation to do his final farewell performance. Before the show, he visited the graves of his wives, Melanie and Stravinsky, who were already demented.
