The Great Lovers

The Great Lovers On a tiny island in the blue sea a villa built by a tycoon to entertain his famous mistress. He had the money she had the voice and journalists had much to write about, fame is attractive makes even the boring interesting. Time passes few talks about them anymore the villa is neglected, shuttered windows, leaking roof, petrified roses in a vase and dust that slowly dances when the house sighs. The once perfect garden is a jungle, wild cats, snakes and scorpion lurking in the grass. Not much news emit from the dark rooms of the villa… but the great voice of the singer lingers tells a story of those who had too much, flew too high, and for the tycoon his world fell from the sky; the rest is silence.
