Overview
"The Lesson is a short narrative film that theatrically shows the effects of toxic masculinity, the rigor of musical performance, and the reconciliation of the past to support the future. Elijah Peters is a teen whose father Dick pressures him to become a high school wrestler. Elijah acquiesces to his father while he secretly pursues his passion by taking piano lessons with the strict instructor Thomas Vikander. The intersection of all three men leads to a confrontation that will uncover emotional baggage and change the course of their lives." -- Abstract
