But this young man turns out to be different. His eyes sparkle when he talks, and he encourages his students to live passionately, to follow their dreams.Leo’s dream is a girl named Beatrice, the prettiest in school. Beatrice is irresistible—one look from her is enough to make Leo forget about everything else.
