A world-wide known piano player whose favorite composition is Tchaikovski's Piano Concerto part one has problems :during her concert,she begins to go nuts ,much to the musicians' dismay.They say her father had lost his marbles before he died . A shrink explains to her she suffers from a neurosis called "narcissism" : she sees "reflections " on her piano (and occasionally on mirrors she relegates to the attic) ,and the face which appears is none other than the other " me" ,probably her inflated ego. Perhaps this unfortunate artist ,treated by a nice shrink ,would never have had a relapse.But alas,she falls in love with the owner of a sawmill ,and this handsome man is none other than her sister's former lover.
