A psychologist attempts to lift the psychological veils of a disturbed young pianist., 27 January 1999
8/10
Author: Kelley O. from Madison, Wisconsin

This utterly enjoyable and utterly daft film tells the tale of a young suicidal pianist. As she slowly confides in her psychiatrist, she begins to understand what she needs to make herself whole and able to play the piano again--basically the love of a man. Which man--her domineering guardian uncle, her musician boyfriend, or the doctor--is only revealed once the last veil has been lifted.
