Jane Campion's superb Gothic romance tells the sensual and erotic story of Ada, a mute Scottish widow who is sent off with her young daughter to an arranged marriage with a settler in the harsh world of mid 19th century New Zealand.
Ada's voice and life are embodied in her beloved piano, which is abandoned by her new husband and rescued by the neighbour, who begins a sensual courtship as she plays the piano.
The Piano is a Film programme that first aired in 1993 and has been classified a 15 certificate.
