The life of nine-year-old Vera, a gifted pianist, becomes extremely difficult on the eve of a music competition. Her mom expects great achievements from her, and makes little Vera practice non-stop, seeming cold and strict her daughter. The profiteering music teacher is increasingly mean to Vera. The girl can hardly stand the hateful lessons. But how can she cope with the detachment and animosity of her own mother?
