Summary:After 23 years working as a devoted maid in an upper class Chilean household, embittered and ailing Raquel can no longer care for the family alone. Trapped by guilt, matriarch Pilar refuses to let Raquel go, even though it is clear their longtime maid is slowly unraveling. Instead, Pilar hires more help, throwing Raquel into a jealous frenzy. The seemingly happy home soon becomes the stage for Raquel's dirty tricks as she attempts to drive away anyone who threatens to take her place. Nominated for a **Golden Globe** for Best Foreign Language Film. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for World Cinema - Dramatic at the **Sundance Film Festival**. "*The Maid is a small film but very sure, and extremely well-acted.*" - Michael Phillips, ***Chicago Tribune***
