An instructor at a prestigious Berlin music school, Anna Bronsky takes a withdrawn teenage violinist Alexander under her wing. Her efforts to nurture what she believes is his unique talent become increasingly obsessive and misguided, encroaching on her personal relationships: with her viol-maker husband, their 10-year-old musical son and her colleague and lover, Christian. Events reach a chaotic crescendo as the day of Alexander’s exam approaches.
