The Absolute Note

"Just breathe. Let the music pour forth from your soul and stand up for what you love. Remember, if you will not dance in that square, someone else will ..."Vera is a strong woman determined to plumb the very depths of her being. She is not afraid to face her sub-conscious nor to unravel and understand her dreams; but, she can be reckless - especially in regard to men. On the other hand, Lara, her best friend, is hopelessly caught in a seemingly rock solid, teenage-style love affair with Diego, a married man. She has chosen to drown out that wise inner voice which speaks and guides through dreams and so has abandoned her two greatest passions, music and dance. Feeling empty and sad, Lara also faces the reality of having a friend who has a completely different way of life; different in ways that she can neither define nor comprehend. The ultimate test of Lara's strength comes with a knock upon her door bringing with it the announcement of some devastating news: Vera has died tragically. Pain clings to everything around Lara. Night after night it forces its way into her dreams where it lives through the voice of her friend. After death, Vera has become a dream guide for Lara; a guide who insists upon leading Lara toward the knowledge of her true self and in time teaches her to live in accord with her deepest passions. Slowly, Lara emerges from the lethargy into which she had taken refuge and she begins to rediscover music. Her dreams become meaningful and true to their well-known reputation, quite prescient. In the end, nothing can stop the flow of positive energy that seems to sweep her up as she rides the powerful wave to her newly discovered happiness.
