Raquel is the housekeeper for a wealthy family, but the joyless repetition has begun to take its toll. Increasingly dependent on painkillers, she resorts to household pranks and childish avoidance to antagonise the family and new servants, all in the hope of protecting her power within the home. An absorbing character study featuring a standout lead actress performance.
"Saavedra’s tour de force performance, allows The Maid to emerge a perceptive, empathetic character piece."
