This is a film I can't shake out of my mind. The upper class woman, a remarkable Norma Aleandro, faces the economical horrors Argentina went through in 2001 and as a consequence she can't afford to pay her live in maid, the sensational Norma Argentina, that was at her service for a quarter century. The film doesn't tell you anything but shows you everything even the most invisible of details. Pride and humbleness co-mingling, switching places in a pacific duel of profound, silent emotions. The stories painted in both actresses faces are nothing less than extraordinary and I've them both in my mind daily since I saw the film for the first time, weeks ago.

Senora Beba is a 50 something (approaching 60) woman who is having to learn to live with reduced circumstances. She is the perfect upper middle class rattle brained blond who is maybe really not so rattle brained.Dora is her live in maid of 30 years who is going to quit because Senora Beba can no longer pay her salary reliably.Neither one want this to happen.It is a wonderful look at life as you get older live alone and have less income.Both characters and the film are 100% real.This movie is a must see.

i liked the beginning of this film but then it lost me ,i was waiting for some humor never happened..........some deep meaning conversation that would explain the housekeeper's stern personality and lack of affection..........never happened it lacked charisma ,the ending left me saying 'are you kidding?',it made no sense at all with a piano sitting awkwardly outside of a house that didn't belong in......i saw a similar CHILEAN movie called 'THE MAID which had all the characteristics i mentioned ,i don't know the who the produceris but i know it's s CHILEAN movie, i absolutely LOVED 'THE MAID' AND HIGHLY Recommend YOU WATCH IT ,THIS movie gets a THUMBS DOWN from me .
