THE PAGE TURNER

With a passion for playing the piano, Mélanie, a young girl from a modest background, passes an audition in the Conservatory at Versailles in the presence of a famous international pianist. During the performance, the pianist repeatedly disturbs her when she plays. Melanie, traumatised by these events, decides to give up playing.
