Title Help
In reply to:
A TV movie from the 90s: A young man, a classical pianist, comes home from college to a small town farming community. He gives piano lessons to a young woman who is engaged to marry a local farmer and they fall in love. There is a recital and he plays Mozart, the older teacher plays Brahms Opus 118#2, the girl plays Meditation from Thais by Massenet. Other details are unclear. She may have married and then the pair run away. The young pianist dies at the end, either forced into suicide or killed by the local young men. They may have been Amish or Menonite. The men wore suspenders but the women had normal dress. There was something very patriarchal about the ownership of women implied.
