Ada, mute since birth, arrives to an arranged marriage in the remote countryside of 19th century New Zealand. Of all her belongings, her new husband refuses to transport her piano, so it is left abandoned on the beach. Unable to bear the idea of its certain destruction, Ada strikes a bargain with an illiterate tattooed neighbor: she can earn her piano back - one key per session - if she allows him to perform certain acts... while she plays.
