SYNOPSIS

Some centuries ago a renowned composer Adrian Ferdinand De Lorge had lost his inspiration and drowned in loneliness and poverty without finishing his main sonata. One stormy day a ball lightning flies into his house and breaks all music instruments in pieces. Suddenly Adrian Ferdinand finds his muse inside the broken piano, a little musical girl, dressed in paper music dress and with musical string hair. He calls her MUSICELLA. He can now finish writing his music and a long way awaits MUSICELLA where she has to repair the music of the world.
