DEAR FRIENDS OF THE AMELIA ISLAND FILM FESTIVAL 2007-2008:

Live-In Maid
(Cama Adentro)
Sunday, October 14th - 1PM
San Marco Theatre

Dora (51) is the maid of Mrs. Beba (59) and has worked and lived with her for 35 years. Beba used to be a well-to-do socialite but successive economic and personal crises have worn her out, reducing her to a purveyor of decadence. Nowadays she finds herself forced to sell door-to-door beauty products. Her thick gold earrings, and her maid, Dora, are the last bastions of a lifestyle of which she refuses to let go.

It is now that the sharpest aspects of their relationship come into view. Though doomed by class prejudices and abusive power codes there is also a bond cemented by mutual love from three decades of living together. Finally, Beba gets the money to cancel the debt and offers some cash in advance to make her maid stay. But Dora has already made up her mind. Dora leaves the apartment to live with Miguel, her weekend boyfriend, at her new home on the city outskirts. Meanwhile, at Beba's apartment, the energy, and telephone services are suspended due to lack of payment.
