Synopsis: New York, 1905. Visionary inventor Nikola Tesla makes one last appeal to J.P. Morgan, his onetime benefactor. “The Tesla World Light” is a tragic fantasy about the father of alternating current, inspired by real events such as the inventor's run of bad luck as a businessman and his affection for a pet bird, which he loves "like a man loves a woman."
