VIFF: La Tourneuse de pages (The Page Turner)

How long and how hard would someone work to get back at someone who crushed their dreams? Some people dedicate their whole self; body and soul to the cause, planning their lives around the subject of their hatred.

Young Mélanie is shown first as a young girl, preparing for her entrance exam on the piano. She sees the exam as the deciding point in her life; if she can't master the piece, she will not continue with her lessons.

Sometimes the smallest thing can destroy concentration, making it nearly impossible to get back up and carry on. That smallest of things intrudes upon Mélanie's performance, and she dedicates her life to returning the favour to the woman who transgressed.

Cold, cold revenge, and no blood is spilled. The music and the superb acting are where it all happens.
