Synopsis:

Woman Without Piano follows a middle class Spanish housewife. She has lost twenty per cent of her hearing due to Tinnitus, constantly must have both the TV and radio on, and most significantly feels completely undesirable to her husband. After a day of working, cooking, and cleaning and once her husband has gone to sleep, Rosa puts on a black wig and red lipstick, packs a single suitcase, and leaves. Once she arrives at the train station, it is not clear where she wishes to go. In fact, the film does not reveal whether Rosa knows herself. At the train station, she meets an awkwardly outgoing Polish immigrant, who finds meaning in life by repairing broken appliances and who also happens to be on the run from the Polish police. When the train station must be cleared out, this pair set out to find something or feel something, anything.

Early 21st century, Madrid. A married housewife has dedicated her whole life to her family. She has no friends nor a social life. Instead, she takes great personal satisfaction of seeing a steaming dish served on the dinner table with admirable punctuality. Here, we follow her for 24 hours in her domestic, working and sexual life, a life from which she decides to escape one night.

A quietly comic look at a Madrid housewife's attempt to escape from her mundane and tedious existence. Encountering mostly impersonal bureaucracy, she has no specific plan for what she wants to do, just the fervent hope that she will find the adventure she's so desperately seeking.
