Just before reaching the pinnacle of fame, Veronica happily gives up her career as a pianist to raise her son. Despite constant pressures from her husband, Paul, a French stockbroker, she retreats into an indefinite hiatus from performing while fully enjoying her role as a mother.

The question of going back on stage arises more painfully when she meets Amanda, an alluring, promising, and younger pianist from Paris who soon falls for Paul.
