I didn't expect it but in a way, this movie is a bit like « Dark Water » as it got under my skin and strike where I hurt :
First, it shows how a decent accommodation is a fundamental human right and how Paris, the city of lights can be indeed a famous place for those kind of violations. Those Spanish maids and I live exactly the same way, that is to say, in very small rooms (mine 14m2) owned by wealthy landlord.
As i got to know this kind of privileged people, this movie is accurate when it depicts them to be as empty as their pockets are full : they think they are bright but they stick to uniformity and they think they are cultured just because they do parties and exhibition. In other world, in the usual french movie, this world is blindly praised while here it's rather questioned. The shameful habit of the "master's privilege" is also put to study but very, very shyly or at least with too much saccharine. So, if the conclusion leaves a bit dizzy, it doesn't betray the spirit of the story as it tells what's the right attitude down on this earth : a fortune is not to amass but to share !
This unusual movie was all the more interesting as it features Lola Duenas, my favorite Spanish artist after Penelope.
