Opera (2003)

Once upon a time there lived a young Italian man named Puccini. He was gifted with the greatest potential. You might even call him a "prodigy". But like so many of us in this world, Puccini's great potential was left unfulfilled, taken from him by the cruel forces of life he could not control: an alcoholic father, a jealous brother, and the betrayal of the woman he thought would save him. In the end, Puccini became just another man, once who silently disappeared into the abyss like all of us. But wouldn't it be grand if even for just one fleeting second we could become our dreams without pain, without suffering, without despair, and then do nothing more but rejoice in the beauty of what could have been.
