Fleeing from the punishment that threatens her at home, a young African woman named Sandurai goes to Rome, where she finds a refuge in the house of the English pianist Mr. Kinsky. As a fee for the housing provided, she works as a servant and at the same time tries to learn from the doctor. Despite the fact that Kinski is completely absorbed in his profession, communicating mainly only with the music of Bach, Mozart and Grieg, a rather unusual romantic relationship arises between him and Sandurai.
