A young girl in post-war Germany takes piano lessons — but instead of freeing the girl to play, they make her frightened of making mistakes. Her ears shut down, making music an uninspiring chore. Later as a young woman, she travels to central British Columbia, to a ghost town and an abandoned house. There she spots a piano—perfectly ruined, a piano on which no note could be a mistake. She learns to listen again—and the girl and her music are free.
