Throughout the film, the heroine, JENNY, alternates between rebellious and compromising images. She has just injured the prison guard and was detained, and then took the initiative to write a letter asking to learn the piano; After the performance, he rammed towards the floor-to-ceiling windows in a blink of an eye; he said that he would never curtsy, but at the last moment of the film he bent down gracefully.
This is not an ordinary psychological film about the study of juvenile delinquency. Although the young boy was raped by his father, then he was brutally abandoned for the murder of his father's boyfriend, and lost his baby because the prison guards ignored him. The injuries she suffered, these became the reasons for her hatred of everything, but the musical talent did not disappear because of it. Once it seized the opportunity, it would redouble its passion. "Black music" was hated by female teachers, but it was closer to JENNY's heart than Schumann. It's the sound of protest, the sound of mockery, the sound of struggling to survive, kicking the stool, kicking the shackles, kicking all the rules, if the handcuffs can't lock her talent, what can she do? What about music that kills a person? Unless you die.
