Ana, who has just arrived from Colombia, gets a job as a maid in a luxurious countryside mansion in sunny Costa Brava. It belongs to a family of art dealers who will spend the summer there. Ana works from dawn to dusk and without a contract, under the false promise of getting decent conditions at the end of the summer. She inconspicuously goes about her work as instructed, dutifully sending her wages home to pay for her younger sister to study medicine. But when she learns from Gisela, the maid from a neighboring house, that there are almost no chances the wealthy family will get her legal residency or offer a permanent job contract, Ana’s hopes are quickly crushed. But instead of feeling defeated, aided by Gisela’s refreshing friendship, Ana discovers her own ways to enjoy the summer and turn the tables with sheer ingenuity and determination. Writer-director Miguel Faus' subversive debut feature, The Quiet Maid, performed with subtlety and sensuality by Colombian actress Paula Grimaldo, is a satirical and highly satisfying tale of a woman's journey of empowerment in a world of glaring inequalities.
