Felisberto Fernandez is a piano tuner of exceptional skill, hired by Dr. Emmanuel Droz to come to a remote clinic to clean and refurbish Droz’s seven automatons, elaborate mechanical constructs. Droz wants the work done quickly, in time for an opera he’s staging for himself. Fernandez’s attentions are captured by two women at the clinic, Assumpta, the clinic’s manager, and Malvina van Stille, a patient who is also a superb singer. Fernandez works on the machines and is drawn to the women while Droz may be manipulating more than the automatons. Do emotions and choice play any part, or it is all opera?
