O’Dessa Fights for Love and Freedom Against Plutonovich’s Cruel Manipulations
O’Dessa’s journey brings her to Euri, her true love, and together they believe they can escape the chaos of Satylite City. However, their union is abruptly halted when Euri is kidnapped and taken to Onderworld, a dark island ruled by the tyrant Plutonovich. Plutonovich, who controls the people of Satylite City through his broadcasted spectacles, turns O’Dessa into the subject of his latest show. She soon learns that to save Euri, she must prove herself as “The One,” a title that comes at a great cost.

Despite this, she persists, using her music to awaken the citizens of Satylite City from their controlled existence. In a dramatic climax, O’Dessa delivers a powerful performance of “The Song (Love Is All),” earning her the title of “The One.” However, Plutonovich has one final trick—when Euri is returned to her, she discovers he has been altered beyond recognition through a sinister face operation.
O’Dessa’s Sacrifice Liberates Satylite City and Ensures Her Enduring Legacy
Overcome with grief and rage, O’Dessa retaliates by attacking Plutonovich with her guitar before setting it on fire. She uses the flames to destroy “The Eye,” the device that enables Plutonovich’s control over Onderworld. Realizing that she has lost the only person she deeply loved, O’Dessa makes the ultimate sacrifice, giving her life to free the people of Satylite City. Her selfless act dismantles the oppressive regime, allowing the city’s residents to reclaim their freedom and humanity.
In the film’s closing moments, O’Dessa and Euri appear in a dreamlike field, hinting at their reunion in the afterlife. Meanwhile, her legacy lives on in Satylite City, where the people rewrite a tribute to Plutonovich to instead honor O’Dessa. The once-oppressed city begins to thrive, with its people engaging in genuine human connection for the first time. In the final scene, a young girl, inspired by O’Dessa’s music, dons her image and picks up a guitar, symbolizing the enduring power of art to inspire and heal across generations.
