The Piano Teacher background

The Piano Teacher

A complex bond between a piano instructor and a devoted admirer unfolds, as the instructor's inner turmoil becomes a source of fascination for the admirer.

Erika Kohut, a middle-aged piano teacher, struggles to find her place in life, torn between her domineering mother and her own desires. She suppresses her own musical ambitions and instead, focuses on her students, often coming across as severe and critical. Despite her reserved exterior, Erika has a secret: she is drawn to explicit content, watching DVDs at a sex shop and observing couples at a drive-in theater. When Walter, a talented and confident student, auditions for her class, Erika is drawn to his charm and audacity, but struggles to reconcile her own desires with her role as a teacher. As they embark on a complex and intense relationship, Erika's boundaries are pushed to the limit, revealing the power of sex to both liberate and consume her.
