Cama adentro (English: Live-in Maid) is a 2004 Argentine-Spanish political satire drama film written and directed by Jorge Gaggero.
On the other hand, Dora came to Buenos Aires during her teenage years from the Chaco Province to work as a full-time maid at Beba's apartment.
Much to Beba's disappointment, Dora must leave after only a short while, explaining that she is awaiting a call from an employment agency.
When summer arrives Beba is forced to rent out her apartment and move to a smaller place.
The site's consensus is that the film is "an insightful character piece with standout performances and a poignant slice of Argentina life.
Taking a different approach to describe the effects of Argentina's down-sliding economy, pic's a fairly successful attempt at satire, though given the subject, there's a lot of darkness under the carpet...Pic's real treat is non-pro actress Argentina's beautiful portrait of Dora, who stoically bears years of humiliation from Beba but is unable to rejoice once the tables are turned.
Powered by two first-rate performances, Jorge Gaggero's debut feature is full of psychological nuance and keen social observation.
Aleandro, an Argentine film veteran, has the look of a woman who wants to be imperious but can no longer afford it, the face of someone trying to keep her dignity.
