The Maid

In this biting dark comedy, Chilean director Sebastián Silva shines a spotlight on the intricacies of domestic life through the eyes of Raquel, a loyal and long-suffering housekeeper who's been the backbone of a wealthy family for nearly half her life. As she struggles to cope with her own vulnerabilities and the changing dynamics of the household, Raquel resorts to childish pranks and schemes to maintain her grip on power - until a new maid named Lucy arrives, forcing her to confront the limits of her control. With Catalina Saavedra's electrifying performance at its center, "The Maid" is a wickedly funny and affecting exploration of the complex relationships between employers and employees, and the delicate balance of power that exists in even the most seemingly ordinary households.
