    A return to music and love
    We see Tally, the inept housekeeper, drawn to an old piano and she is reminded of the music she used to make. She finds a book of poetry and is further inspired to use this time to produce a tour-de-force tape as a tribute to the poet. Leo is a corporate lawyer who needs a break from the legal world. While the movie is fairly predictable, each character plays a critical role in helping to make Tally and Leo both understand where their true priorities are in their own topsy-turvy lives. I really loved the music, it was very Tori Amos-like and anyone who likes this style of avant-garde songs will certainly love this movie. The story easily carries meaning to anyone who has ever had doubts or fears about following through on their dreams in life.
