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 María (Natalia Verbeke).
Through María, 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 -
Concepción (Carmen Maura), Carmen (Lola Dueñas), Dolores (Berta
Ojea), Teresa (Nuria Solé), Pilar (Concha Galán) - refugees of the
Franco regime, who teach him there’s more to life than stocks and
bonds, and whose influence on the house will ultimately transform
everyone’s life.
