Synopsis: Paris, 1960. Jean-Louis (Fabrice Luchini, Potiche) lives a bourgeois
existence absorbed in his work, cohabitating peacefully with his
neurotic socialite wife Suzanne (Sandrine Kiberlain, Mademoiselle
Chambon) while their children are away at boarding school. The couple's
world is turned upside-down when they hire a Spanish maid Maria (Natalia
Verbeke). Through Maria, Jean-Louis is introduced to an alternative
reality just a few floors up on the building's sixth floor, the
servants' quarters. He
befriends a group of
sassy Spanish maids (Carmen Maura, Lola Duenas, Berta Ojea, Nuria Sole,
Concha Calan), refugees of the Franco regime, who teach him there's more
to life than stocks and bonds. The women's influence on the house
brings change... muy rápido! Official Selection of Berlinale. -- (Written by Strand)
