The Chambermaid (Spanish: La camarista) is a 2018 Mexican drama film directed by Lila Avilés.
[5] Eve is a reserved young woman working as a maid in an upscale hotel in Mexico City.
Eve begins helping the woman once a day, reluctantly growing closer to both the guest and her baby.
Eve's teacher gives her a copy of Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach and she begins reading for pleasure for the first time.
In an interview with La Elements, director Lila Avilés says that the ideal for the film stems from a time in the early 2010s in which she was writing a theater screenplay that also took place in a hotel.
The website's critical consensus states: "The Chambermaid uses one woman's experiences to take audiences inside a life -- and a culture -- that's as bracingly unique as it is hauntingly relatable".
