His producer, a pretentious man who cannot stick to one language, prefers to give him carte blanche, saying in English "I believe in you, Walter." His young lover scrupulously films Walter's every twitch, simultaneously mocking his efforts at producing an original operatic extravaganza. And Mozart, who from time to time peers at the goings-on from a distance, only offers Walter a kiss on the lips as a token of support. Left to his own devices, Walter tries his best to put some new intriguing twists...

They are literally and physically carried away by the "waves of knowledge" contained in the library. Their hands twitch at the thought of all that "knowledge at their fingertips."
