Story:

It was a world of dreams...
Late on the night of October 16, 1849, in an apartment at 12 Place Vendome in
the heart of Paris, Frédéric François Chopin, known as the poet of the piano,
dreams his last dream while lying in his sickbed. It is a dream of a beautiful,
magical world, like something from a fairy tale.
In that world, those with incurable illnesses are able to harness the power of
magic. He encounters a young girl facing a terrible destiny and the boy who will
fight to save her. Though he first thought that this world is just a fantasy, an
illusion created by his mind, Chopin realizes that there might be more to this
place.
A world of vivid colors. A world that feels so real.
Can this truly be just a dream?
