Plot

Raquel has been the live-in housekeeper for a kind, reasonably wealthy family for half her life, and the joyless repetition of the job has begun to take its toll.

Sinekatalog’s take

A housekeeper worn down by years of service lashes out at newcomers sent to help her. Darkly comic, intimate and sharply observed about class, it builds a surprisingly rich portrait of a difficult woman.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
