| Summary |
Erika, a middle-aged piano professor at a Viennese conservatory who lives with her mother, in a claustrophobically codependent relationship. Severely repressed, she satisfies her masochistic urges only voyeuristically until she meets Walter, a young student whose desire for Erika leads to a destructive infatuation that upsets the careful equilibrium of her life. |
