The comic
Everything started from music, around which it rotates the story of Alex, of his grandmother Muse and that of all the singular characters we can meet in the tale.
Each of us can reflect himself inside the dreams of a young boy, who would like to become a musician but is about to lose hope…
Alex is the main character of this story – he’s not crazy as the Pink of “The Wall” neither he suffers as the “Tommy” sung by The Who. But in his own way, Alex is an anti-hero as they were. Alex is less painful, but more resigned. He’s a symbol of his musical generation – he isn’t able to make something of himself. He’s talented but doesn’t want to become a “social network” personality. His grandma – a funny old lady, that was a groupie in the ‘60s – wants to help him. At the beginning she drags him to a boring classical musical, but then they’ll share an unforgettable night, that Alex won’t forget for the rest of his life. Among his grandma’s friends there are Ludwig van Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Haydn, Händel, Chopin, Debussy, Čajkovskij, Vivaldi, Wagner, Vivaldi, Bizet, Rossini and Dvořák. This happy group is used to meet every evening to revel and play. They’ll teach Alex that in order to become famous he needs craziness and perseverance. And when you’re ready to risk, you can win any talent show…
