The unspoken heartbreak of a closeted young man, the sordid rise of a "breakout star," a graceful, beautiful boy encountering a violent, tyrannical rich heir, and a foreign model who dies unexpectedly in a country villa: together, they make up a film that can only play out in the dark of night.
Glitz and fame hang high like the hem of Aurora's gown in an endless night. A flash of light reveals a stubborn ego that cannot accept the disparity. In this unending song of sorrow, admiring gazes cannot soothe their uncontrollable anxiety.
Every painful whisper is the bitter cry of victims who have tirelessly sought answers.
"So this is really what happened?"
"I hate you because you never treated me like a person."
"What about everything I gave up? Was it all a lie?"
"The dog I raised with my own hands actually bit me."
Beautiful bones form walls of gold, but love and hate cannot measure what something is worth.
If desire cannot be quenched, it can only become a raging beast that devours humanity. These young, restless souls are dragged step by step into a fever dream woven from the traps of a glittering world, where heartbreaking mermaid laments play out across the city.
In the end, one act ends and another begins, and they mistake a foreign land for home.
