Transbordando de alegria, Vita liberta-se finalmente e canta, deixando-se convencer por Pierre a gravar um disco que se torna um imediato sucesso de vendas. Temendo que a mãe descubra que quebrou a promessa, Vita decide voltar a casa... para morrer! Com a ajuda de Pierre e de Yano, Vita encena a sua própria morte e ressurreição, para mostrar à família e amigos que tudo é possível se tiverem a coragem de ousar.
