When Ota loses her wealthy family in a tragic accident, she devotes her life to orphans in a convent and leads a modest life.

On the vacation island of Majorca, Prince Liam, a famous but troubled New York bandleader, literally falls into her life. Their different lifestyles are initially a threshold, especially for the local island girl.

โ€œScreenwriters are the opposite of Athletes, they get better with age.โ€ Aaron Sorkin

Age is just a number when it comes to chasing your dreams. My writing invites audiences to an emotional journey, whether itโ€™s to bring laughter or tears.
