Synopsis : Mélanie, the daughter of a butcher in a small provincial town, is ten years old and seems to have a gift for the piano. She tries the entrance examination at the conservatory but fails, unsettled by the casual attitude of the president of the jury , a recognized pianist. Deeply disappointed, Mélanie gives up the piano. A decade later, during an internship, Mélanie meets Mr. Fouchécourt, the husband of the woman who has changed the course of her life. Mélanie gets noticed for her organizational skills and dedication, and is recruited at Mr. Fouchécourt’s to watch over his son. The meeting with Ms. Fouchécourt goes wonderfully well as Melanie shows her sensitivity to music and becomes her page turner …
