The Page Turner

Mèlanie, a small-town butcher’s daughter, seems to have a special gift for the piano. She takes the Conservatory entrance exam, but fails after being distracted by the thoughtless behavior of the chairwoman of the jury, a well known concert pianist. Bitterly disappointed, Mèlanie gives up the piano. Some ten years later, while working as an intern at a law film, Mèlanie meets Monsieur Fouchècourt, the husband of the woman who has changed her life.

Madame Fouchècourt soon warms to Mèlanie when her musical sensitivity comes out, and the young woman becomes her page turner…
