The Piano

The Piano is a film which tells the story of Ada, a mute, widowed woman, made to move to New Zealand with her young daughter Flora in order to marry Stewart, whom she has never met. In New Zealand, her beloved piano is sold to her neighbour, who is attracted to Ada. Knowing how much Ada needs her piano, Baines (the neighbour) agrees to give the piano back if she gives him piano lessons and accepts other “conditions”. They gradually fall in love and she divorces her husband.
