The Piano Teacher 2001 1080p BluRay X264-PHOBOS [PublicHD]

A story of intensely dramatic interest. The scene opens with a view of the sitting room in the home of a merchant. Those present are the merchant, his daughter and a childhood friend. As the lady leaves the glances of the young man testify of the infatuation he has for her. At the home of her pupil the teacher meets the latter's brother and readily falls a victim to his suave manner. Friendship soon ripens into love and before long the young lady is seen to make her departure from the paternal domicile to be married to her new found friend. "Married in haste" in this instance also gives cause for "repentance at leisure." The husband proves unfaithful and the young woman soon finds herself called upon to seek legal separation. She returns to her home but the stern father is obdurate and will not grant his pardon. Her child she entrusts to the maid in her father's home and then goes out to seek a livelihood as best she can. The child is well taken care of and prospers in the luxuriant atmosphere of her indulgent grandfather's estate. Years have passed and one day as the maid is out with the child a woman of emaciated appearance and with torn garments is seen seeking alms. The merchant passes on after bestowing a coin in the uplifted hand. The benefactor, however, is recognized and the woman after gazing furtively and longingly at the child, tries to depart but is recognized by the maid as the mother of the child. Her childhood friend is present and moved to compassion begs her to remain. They escort her into the home and when the father returns efforts at reconciliation are unavailing until the little daughter intercedes.
