Just before reaching the summit of glory, Veronica happily leaves her career as a pianist to take care of her son. Despite the pressure of her husband Paul, a French stockbroker, he sets aside the concerts to devote himself completely to his mothering facet. However, without a salary or independence job, Veronica is becoming more dependent on her husband and then arises a feeling of personal dislocation. After meeting Amanda, a promising and seductive young pianist attracted by Paul, he rethought the idea of returning to the stage. The harmony between love, motherhood and musical career seems to be impossible in this obscure account of a young russian woman trying to keep the balance between rich french expatriates in New York.
