Six domestic workers share their thoughts about their employers and their experiences on the job in this satiric comedy. While we never see the people they work for, we're given a look at the absurdities and indignities of their daily routines, as well as a look into their lives outside work. One signs up for a modeling course only to discover she's being recruited for an escort service, while another finds herself having an affair with the chauffeur working for the same family, and a third falls for a good-looking criminal. Directed by Fernando Meirelles and Nando Olival, Domesticas was shown in competition at the 2001 Rotterdam Film Festival.
