Plot summary

Eva, 20, joins Safietou, Djaoua, Violette and Simone, a team of chambermaids at one of Paris’s finest Palace Hotels. She discovers the poor working conditions of these invisible women, who work tirelessly to keep the high standards of these luxurious hotels, where one night can cost their annual salary. Many are not even employed by the hotels directly but by sub-contractors, and are therefore particularly vulnerable. While on strike to fight against subcontracting and to obtain better working conditions, they come up with a colorful idea : having their own “Fashion Week” in front of the hotel!

French movie about social injustice for chamber maids in luxury hotels

social justice for all ... now!

This is most excellent

  • it shows the cleaning ladies of a Luxury Hotel 16.000 Euros/night (more than these women earn in a year) for the top suite getting reamed by management and farmed out services sub-contractors and all these beautiful weapons of Neoliberalism/Globalism etc etc


  • for examples they are not even given enough vacuum cleaners to do the punishing gymkhana tasks they are asked to do some of their overtime is not even renumerated


  • It shows how unless put under extreme pressure they will not EVER care about les petites mains / helpers /the little people who keep their establishment running


  • Most of these exploited women are West-Africans also struggling with residency issues with The State


  • It is done very stylishly here we have a main actress quite magnetic she is too but really it is about all of them here; and in a wider fashion all the exploited of modern-day capitalist shenanigans


  • We are for British/Anglo-saxon viewers in Ken Loach territory here deep in it in fact


More of these films need to be made; this one here a fine example. If you are interested in social justice and the obscene excesses of Capitalism treat yourself to this.
