Thandie Newton caresses her bare breasts(1:00)

Fleeing the punishment that threatens her in her homeland, a young African woman named Shandurai goes to Rome, where she finds refuge in the house of the English pianist Mr. Kinski. As payment for the housing provided, she works as a maid and at the same time tries to train as a doctor. Despite the fact that Kinski is completely absorbed in his profession, communicating mainly only with the music of Bach, Mozart and Grieg, a rather unusual romantic relationship arises between him and Shandurai.
