1946

Being the godson of Don Vito Corleone had its benefits, for Johnny Fontane? It was more than just coincidence for his career as a famous Italian folk music singer (and an actor on the side) to shine like it did. He owed everything to his godfather and his family for making him successful in Hollywood.

But of course, the life of a celebrity was not always easy; especially men like Johnny who ran away with his mistress, Hollywood actress Margot Ashton (who turned out to be a floozy) leaving behind his ex-wife Ginny and their three daughters in Manhattan, New York, this news of this occasion spread like wildfire—of course, Don Corleone was not pleased by Johnny’s immaturity.

After Johnny started developing a sore throat (and worsened), he could barely sing for ten minutes without suffering a hoarse throat for three days after. His singing career was looking grim, and couldn’t find any other inspiration to sing again—not after everything that had happened to him with his mistress and all…

Until one day, he hears a song sang by a young woman who had a velvety, captivating voice of Sicilian origin. The song was called “Carmen”, from Sicilian folk music.

For a while, Johnny was a bit skeptical of the girl’s natural talent (while being a bit jealous)… over time, he started to become obsessed with the music the young girl produced… her voice touched his tormented soul—and no other woman had the ability to make his heart explode…

Which made Johnny become more curious about the artist herself… and slowly leading to a bleak of obsession and infatuation in the old singer…
