Isabelle Huppert provides a shocking portrait as a middle-aged piano teacher who suffers at the hands of her overbearing mother (Girardot). When she is pursued by a devoted student (Magimel), her life takes an unsettling turn as she reveals her masochistic desires. Huppert and Magimel received top honors at Cannes for their dark performances.
