NOTES The wonderful Holly Hunter is Ada, a speaking impaired

Englishwoman, who has come with her daughter to New

Zealand to marry a land owner, Sam Neill. She

communicates through her piano which her husband trades

for more land to George Baines (Harvery Keitel). He allows

her to continue playing the piano in return for lessons. They

fall in love.

A beautiful, passionate, disturbing film.

Catya writes: Holly Hunter's character is not deaf, but

speaking impaired.
