Schubert, Mozart, and a bunch of killers. That’s life for 80-year-old piano teacher Traude Krueger. The old lady has been teaching music at the women’s prison for ages. But she has never met an inmate like Jenny: a killer who destroys everything around her to amuse herself. However, she used to be a piano prodigy. And beneath her fierce façade, she still is. Traude wins warden Meyerbeer’s approval for train her at the piano. Put in solitary confinement after beating the living out of a warder, with Traude’s help she manages to participate in a prestigious piano contest for young talents.
