Sogni in Briciole
by Francesco Spada
Jake is a small-town boy from the U.S. He has a beautiful voice and a dream: to enroll at the Juilliard School in New York, a temple of music from which complete performers emerge. Although his family is skeptical, Jake is supported by his childhood friends, among whom there is Stella, the girl he has always loved. But something changes from the day Jake passes the auditions for the "To be a Star!" talent show. His relationship with Stella evolves, and Jake's group is introduced to the mysterious and disturbing Daniel, another contestant on the show. Who really is Daniel Adler? A demon with an angel's voice or a fragile and somewhat bizarre artist? Accompanied by the cathartic power of music, along with lyrics studded with emotional songs, Jake will discover the price of growing up through a toxic and destructive friendship, the trials a love must go through to become mature, and the defeat that leads to ultimate victory.
