A sophisticated and self-assured woman from Paris joins a middle-class rural estate as a maid and causes quite a stir among the variously uptight and perverse inhabitants. Shot in glorious black-and-white by cinematographer Roger Fellous, the film is an unsettling mood piece that observes startling evocation of a kingdom of moral collapse.
