Description Every night reality blurs with fantasy as Claire and Solange take turns pretending to be their mistress in a crazed ritual, fantasizing the murder of Madame. With its evocative language, The Maids is a harrowing tale about the rituals of extravagance and the horrors of poverty, the agony of exclusion and the ecstasy of imagination.
