Plot:
Exasperated at being stuck on a piano rhapsody he's been writing for seven years, Sol pushes himself over the edge, having an hallucination of a mysterious young woman.

Soon, Sol discovers that he has brain tumors, and a risky operation is his only means of survival.

Initially deciding to go through with the surgery, things change when he physically meets Sofia, the woman from his hallucination. She urges Sol not to have the operation because the tumors aren't what they seem.

Unable to fathom her strange appearance, he starts out to discover the nature of these events - unearthing what 'The Rhapsody' really is.
