Chambermaid

Chambermaid

On the brink of the First World War, fifteen-year-old Anka is sent from her Slovakian village to work as a maid in a wealthy Prague household. Once there, the insecure newcomer is charged with looking after Resi, the family’s difficult daughter, enduring episode after episode of cruelty and humiliation at her hand. Soon though, Anka begins to see cracks in Resi’s tough surface, uncovering hidden family secrets.

As war shatters the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the two women find solace in each other amid a world ruled by patriarchy and conflict, forging an intimate bond simmering with love and desire which transcends the two women’s class divide.
