Synopsis: Teodor studies music and conducting. As a teenager, he killed his father because of his violent behaviour and therefore takes care of himself. He has only one good friend, Ondrej, whom he trusts implicitly. He sees life as a masterpiece of which he is the creator. Everything he does is a passion for him, including his darkest passion – the cruel killing of people. The reason he kills is because of the falsity and duplicity of his victims. It doesn’t matter how close a person is to him, but whether he plays “his part” in Theodore’s game correctly and honestly. In his imagination he sees the embodied figure of Mephisto, the conductor with his face telling him when to eliminate whom, even if it is those closest to him. With each murder, he moves on to write the next part of his Angelic Rhapsody.
