The Film
The feature is about moral blackmail and the exploitation of power. A rich woman returns to her hotel suite to discover one of the young maids going through her belongings and trying on her clothes and jewellery. Rather than report her, the older woman subjects the girl to verbal and physical violence. The harmless Cinderella-game turns into a cruel game in which the maid becomes an object on which the woman vents all her frustration and dissatisfaction with life.
