Raised by his aunts, Annie and Anna, who wanted him to become a piano virtuoso, 33-year-old Paul Marcel has never spoken a word since his parents’ death when he was two years old.
To help Paul overcome his childhood trauma, his neighbor Mrs. Proust, an aging hippie, invites Paul to take part in her special musical therapy sessions. Thanks to her mysterious herbal tea and its magical powers, which are activated by music, Paul relives lost and forgotten pages of his past, when his parents, Anita and Attila, were famous wrestlers. Despite some drawbacks, the pianist continues his therapy with Mrs. Proust, hoping to learn the secrets his aunts are keeping from him.
