Comedy / Musical
Film Synopsis
Willy Régis is a popular singer who has both fame and fortune
but has yet to find the thing he yearns for most: true love.
Determined to find someone who will love him for himself, and not for
his wealth and celebrity, he attempts to pass himself off as an
ordinary young man. He strikes up an acquaintance with an old
street musician and sings for him. Willy takes an instant liking
to the old man's granddaughter and is soon head over heels in love with
her. When the girl discovers Willy's real identity she gives into
despair and threatens to kill herself. The singer returns to her
just in time, to be reunited with the woman he has been looking for all
his life.
In his letters to his friends and family, Franz Kafka gives us a rich self-portrait that is surprisingly upbeat, nor the angst-ridden soul we might expect.
