Lezioni di piano (1993)
Ada, muta dall'età di sei anni, giunge in Nuova Zelanda, sposata per procura con Stewart, un piccolo possidente. Con lei ci sono la figlioletta Flora, i bauli, un pianoforte. Stewart fa abbandonare il pianoforte sulla spiaggia perché difficile da trasportare lungo gli impervi sentieri dell'isola. Baines, un bianco che si è avvicinato ai costumi dei Maori, aiuta Ada a riaverlo. Ottenuto da Stewart il piano, chiede a Ada di dargli lezioni, che prevedano una disponibilità "controllata" della donna al gioco erotico. Per continuare a suonare, lei accetta. Baines le restituisce il pianoforte; tra i due si stabilisce una relazione che Flora osteggia. La relazione sembrerà sfociare verso la tragedia.
