Raquel (Catalina Saavedra) has been working for the wealthy Valdés family since she was 18. During that time she became a nanny for five children as well as a tireless maid who is on her feet from morning until night. Aside from the debilitating migraines and the illusion that she is perceived as part of the family, life has given her nothing. Her poorly concealed bitterness and increasing conflicts with the eldest Valdés daughter lead the lady of the house to the conviction that her current “jill-of-all-trades” is overworked. But surprisingly her decision to hire extra help rubs Raquel the wrong way… Does the exhausted domestic truly not need any help, or is she just trying, by hook or by crook, to maintain the exclusivity of her dubious standing within the bosom of the family. She can hardly expect them to help her finally discover herself…

In the intersection between social and human pressures, the director gently depicts with humorous moments, the modern form of serfdom that still lingers in some Latin American families. Winner, Grand Jury Prize and Best Actress for Catalina Saavedra, in the World Cinema Competition, 2009 Sundance Film Festival.
