    • Synopsis
    • Woman without piano is the portrait of an anonymous housewife at the turn of the XXIst century in Madrid. The main character (Carmen Machi) is a married woman. For her, nothing compares to the intimate satisfaction of watching a piping hot dish served, on time, for lunch. The movie shows 24 hours in her domestic, professional and sexual everyday life - a life she flees from one night. The film is the tale of what happens during that night. Some might say this movie reflects the alienation of a housewife, but the story is really about a woman on the brink of menopause, a woman with no friends and no social life. She has devoted her life to her family, she doesn’t think she is pretty, she hates her hair... and just slips into the strangeness of the night. Because when night falls, a fun, dark and absurd new world rises.
