Madame Sousatzka

Bengali immigrant Sushila Sen lives in London with her son Manek who is musically gifted. She supports them both as a caterer of Indian food while Manek studies the piano with Madame Sousatzka who is a Russian immigrant. Madame Sousatzka, while highly talented, never succeeded as a pianist and thus lives through her students, particularly talented ones such as Manek. Manek is soon forced to choose between Madame Sousatzka and his mother who both compete for his attention... (wikipedia.org)
