Mrs. K is an elderly widow who lives by herself in a small suburban town. She whiles away her time reminiscing about her late husband and the children she taught long ago as a piano instructor.

As Mrs. K discovers, it may not be what we cannot know that troubles us the most; it may be what we cannot bear to know.
