Synopsis
For over 60 years Traude Krüger teaches piano lessons in a women’s prison. There she meets 21-year-old Jenny, convicted for murder, withdrawn, volatile, aggressive – and once a musical wunderkind. At first Jenny takes on Traude’s lessons out of boredom – but then Traude sets a condition. A power duel evolves between the two women. In a grand finale Jenny only has four minutes to do something that nobody, not even Traude, is expecting.
