Based on a true story. A legendary heiress and socialite Florence pursues her passion to sing opera

despite the fact that her vocal cords are clearly not built for the job. Her devoted husband and

manager, St. Clair Bayfield, manages to protect Florence from the truth, but when she decides to

give her first public concert at New York’s Carnegie Hall, St. Clair realizes he has perhaps bitten off

more than he can chew.

forces across national borders to depict the lives of characters who journey between Japan and Cambodia, the Philippines and Malaysia. These works aim to help bring together People in Asia.
