ENZO EFSERYAN(FREDDIE MERCURY) IS A PROMISING MOVIE ACTOR WHO IS AT A CROSSROADS IN LIFE WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND PAULINE AMOS (MARY AUSTIN). APPARENTLY THE END OF IT ALL, IT WILL BE JUST THE BEGINNING OF A NEW LIFE FOR THE ACTOR.
MY PARTICULAR HOMAGE TO...
Enzo's voice was a revelation in show business. As a result of that marvellous and prize-winning musical with the Slovakian director, he had received numerous offers to show off his talents with it. At that stage of his life in which he must put stress in filling his body with cd4 lynphocytes, those kind of work offers suited him fine. He couldn't allow himself not working, he was too hyper. But the demanding of a shooting was now counter productive. He had had some arguments with Joanna, his agent and with Pauline about this topic. So far it was needed lighten his schedule and these proyects were equally enriching and didn't demand so much strenght.
Although Enzo enjoyed basically with opera and considered himself a complete illiterate in the actual musical scene, Tarek was guilty to inoculate in him more and more the taste for pop and rock music.
Tarek was a fan of the young British artist Adele and was thrilled when he told him the offer he had received.
- Are you kidding? Are you thinking to sing along with Adele?
- Who is she?
- She's the indisputable number 1 in United Kingdom. Look, listen Rolling in the deep.
Eventually he had to listen to all her records and ended up agreeing with Tarek about her portentous voice. Enzo accepted the project in part thanks to Tarek's enthusiasm.
First there was a previous meeting between Pauline and Adele's manager and later on an initial contact between both artists. There was a connection and Tarek had his photo with Adele, as one ordinary fan.
The project was about recording one song to the soundtrak of comic actor Adam Anderson's last film. At first they were rehearsing till they started the recording sessions. Despite Enzo growled like a fuddy-daddy stating that they always made up songs to fuck his nice voice up, he was a real professional as he used to. Tarek was with him always. He was fascinated by watching him performing because he adored his voice. But the recording sessions were very boring because Enzo was extremely perfectionist.

At the end, the sessions went on quite a long time and Tarek came downstairs to the studios kitchen to spend some time with Marta, one of the employees. First they started with a little glass of wine, it followed a second till they finished off the bottle.
- You are here -Carl said poking his chubby face out the door-. Enzo was asking where you were. He wants leaving now.
- Well, he has to wait. I'm not ready to leave yet.
The usual thing was Tarek waited till in desperation and in a matter of seconds Enzo decided it was time to go and the machinery was in motion. This time around Tarek decided he could wait for him for a change.
- Are you sure? -Marta asked worried.
- Very sure. I know Enzo. From the moment he says we're leaving until he decides to come through the door can take half an hour.
