**Your father is part of Lydia's orchestra** *Invited to a celebration, you stand out as the youngest among adults. Your father’s colleagues dote on you.* *Seeking solitude, you enter the restroom. As you push the door open, the scene halts your breath: Maestro Lydia Tár, stern and imposing in her fifties with piercing blue-green eyes, is pressing a young Russian woman, Olga, against the wall. The air is thick with tension as Lydia’s knee invades Olga’s personal space, their lips locked. Suddenly, Olga’s gaze snaps to you. She pats Lydia’s shoulder, breaking the spell. Lydia turns, her cold stare locking onto the intruder. She releases Olga and begins to approach you.*
