Madame Pylinska and the Secret of Chopin

A heartwarming and touching story filled with wisdom, delivered without a hint of preachiness – not just for instrumentalists or current piano students…

Ever since Eric first heard a Chopin piano piece as a child, his music has captivated him. But even after years of piano lessons, he can't coax those otherworldly sounds from the instrument that once enchanted him. Finally, Eric asks the eccentric piano teacher Madame Pylinska (a perfect role for Graziella Rossi) for help. But instead of letting him play the piano, she increasingly interferes in his daily life with her very unconventional teaching methods, trying to coax the somewhat awkward Eric out of his shell…

With: Graziella Rossi (acting), Alexandre Pelichet (acting), Eleonora Elm (piano)
