The Piano 9 - 11

VIEW IN EDSHED

An old man sits at his piano on his own.  A beautiful tune fills the empty room in which he sits.  The man is 'visited' by a number of memories.  FIrstly, his wife appears and plays the piano alongside him.  This is followed by a powerful memory from World War Two where we see him working as a medic and caring for a comrade.  

The film ends with the memory of the pianist as a young boy, which merges into the present day when the musician is visited by his grandson.
