    The Piano Tuner

    Jane Thompson 2003 Canada Fiction color 22min Betacam
    Edith, mid-40s, feels neglected in her stale and distant marriage, and has lost her long-standing passion for music and playing the piano. Always off on business trips, her husband has long forgotten the meaning of romance. With little affection, love or direction in her life. Edith's self-esteem is suffering and she can't find the energy or the courage to change her life or alter her gray outlook. But when Mr. Leonides, a blind piano tuner, walks into her home, the very fact that he can't see her arouses hope and desire inside Edith. His warm and delicate touch sparks a renewed faith in her sense of self and her inner and outer beauty.
