Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's career and life are threatened by an envious court composer Antonio 
Salieri.

=============

Antonio Salieri believes that Mozart's music is divine. He wishes he was himself as good a 
musician as Mozart so that he can praise the Lord through composing. But he can't understand 
why God favored Mozart, such a vulgar creature, to be his instrument. Salieri's envy has made 
him an enemy of God whose greatness was evident in Mozart. He is set to take revenge.
