The story centers on the encounter between an eccentric and intransigent woman, Madame Sousatzka, and Marcus, a boy she gives piano lessons to near Hyde Park. Marcus's relationships with his mother and the singular tenants of the house depict a world of lonely people facing their powerlessness before life.
