A small-town butcher?s daughter, Mélanie, aged about ten, seems to have a special gift for the piano. She takes the Conservatory admission exam, but fails after being distracted by the thoughtless behaviour of the chairwoman of the jury, a well-known concert pianist. Mélanie gives up the piano. Ten years later, while working as an intern with a law firm, Mélanie meets Monsieur Fouchécourt, who recruits her into his home to look after his son. Madame Fouchécourt soon warms to Mélanie when her musical sensitivity comes out, and the young woman becomes her page-turner.
