AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE

Executive produced by Steven Soderbergh, The Quiet Maid is a subversive and striking portrait of a woman’s journey to empowerment. Directed and co-written by Miguel Faus in his directorial debut, this compelling class conflict drama and highly entertaining satirical tale explores an intimate glimpse of duty and quiet rebellion simmering beneath the complex relationships of the house and the help.

In a luxurious Spanish mansion in the sunny Costa Brava, young Colombian Ana (a captivating Paula Grimaldo) works as a maid for a wealthy family enjoying their summer holidays. She is quiet and discreet, doing as she is told and working tirelessly.

Among cocktails and cleaning, Ana discovers that she can find her own ways of enjoying the summer and socializing with the maid of the neighboring house. But in this world of glaring inequalities, Ana will need to summon her cunning and determination to turn the tables on her employers.

“Combines a distinctive tone and striking visual sense with a knock-out performance from Grimaldo, fully inhabiting a role that deliciously defies our expectations.” - Screen International
