在离家七年后,钢琴家夏洛特回来看她的女儿伊娃,后者嫁给了一个农村的社区牧师。但他说伊娃并不爱他,而伊娃说,她不爱是因为她没有爱的能力。从童年起,母亲就不断地离开家,献身于艺术和它所造就的逼仄、深刻、孤独的空间。伊娃在那样的环境里长大,总是小心翼翼地渴求母亲的喜欢,温顺地承受着希望的幻灭。 Seven years after leaving home, pianist Charlotte returns to see her daughter Eva, who married a rural community priest. But he said Eva does not love him, and Eva said she does not love because she has no ability to love. From her childhood, her mother continued to leave home and dedicate himself to the art and the cramped, profound and lonely space it created. Eva grew up in such an environment, always craving the mother’s love with cautious, gently to withstand the disillusionment of hope.
