The film tells the story of Erica, a 40-year-old piano teacher who teaches piano at the Vienna Conservatory. Known for being strict with her students, she lives with her elderly but controlling mother. Erica grew up under the extremely strict discipline of her mother, which caused her to be full of depression and contradictions, and her desires were dissatisfied. Her relationship with her mother was one of quarrels and torture, with the two women torturing each other.

Erica, who is gentle and virtuous on the surface, has a pathological way of releasing lust. She went to the video store to watch pornographic videos, or to the open-air movie theater to watch couples having sex, as a way to express her inner lust. Even masturbating with a razor in the toilet for a pleasure. This pathological desire for voyeurism and self-destructive tendencies became her way of expressing her inner anger and dissatisfaction.

"The Piano Teacher" shows Erica's repressed emotions and pathological release of lust, revealing the individual's struggles under pressure and in modern society. A distorted mind under confinement. The film explores the dark side of human nature and the conflict of inner desires, as well as the rebellion against social norms and moral constraints. Isabelle Huppert's excellent acting skills showed Erica's inner world to the fullest, leaving a deep impression on the audience.
