The Piano Teacher is a psychological drama set in Vienna, Austria. It tells the story of Erika Kohut, a repressed, sexually frustrated piano teacher in her late 40s who is struggling to cope with her domineering mother. When an attractive young man, Walter Klemmer, applies to be her student, Erika finds herself increasingly drawn to him despite her best efforts to keep her distance. As her attraction to him grows, Erika's desire to keep control takes a dangerous turn, unleashing a dark side she never knew existed. The film follows her struggle for control, both inside and outside the classroom, as her obsessions and compulsions come to a head in a shocking climax.
