📖 Story
Confined in a psychiatric asylum, a brilliant but broken Italian composer unravels the haunting truth behind his obsession with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a prodigy whose effortless genius eclipsed everything Salieri devoted his life to achieve. What unfolds is not merely a tale of rivalry, but a profound meditation on ambition, envy, and the terrible price of witnessing greatness you can never possess. Through intimate confessions and vivid musical spectacles, the film dissects how one man's desperate struggle against insignificance led him to betray the very thing he loved most.
