Bel Canto

Drama Japanese industrialist Katsumi Hosokawa travels to a politically volatile South American nation with translator Gen under the auspices of building a factory to revitalise the ailing economy. Vice president Ruben Ochoa hopes to secure Hosokawa's investment by hosting a soiree featuring a private concert by American soprano Roxanne Coss. During the recital, heavily armed guerrilla rebels storm the party. They demand the release of political prisoners in exchange for the lives of party guests.
