The Reveal of Madame Cheng (Trailer)

2023 Submission
Written By Justin Merino

A woman's chance encounter in a Milanese palace leads her on a transformative journey, revealing her destiny as the legendary Madame Cheng of karaoke fame.

In the heart of Milan stands Ronin's curious palace, its windows shimmering with enigmatic light. As "Una Donna" (the woman) steps inside, she's greeted by a bewildering sight: wild karaoke rooms where the extraordinary is ordinary. Populated by peculiar and unlikely individuals, every room seems to hold a secret waiting to be unveiled.

Navigating her way to the bar, more oddities emerge. Among them, a mysterious woman hidden behind a fan releases birds that soar freely within the palace's confines. Intrigued by these flying creatures, our protagonist follows them. Their path leads her to a solitary microphone. As she grasps it, a transformation occurs, revealing her identity as the true Madame Cheng, the sovereign of karaoke.

In a twist of reality and legend, it's unveiled that "Madame Cheng" is more than just a fantasy; it's a nod to a real karaoke haven located in Milan's Chinatown district.
