I teach not only how to play, but how to live.

Overview

In London, eccentric piano instructor Madame Sousatzka takes on a new prize protégé, Manek, a teenage Bengali immigrant who displays incredible talent.

As he struggles to meet the challenges, Manek must also deal with his mother, who vies with his teacher for his attention.
