Glenda Jackson and Susannah York play Paris maids who tend to a cruel socialite's unending domestic needs. Whenever Madame is away, the sisters obsessively act out a complex role-playing psychodrama of domination and control that feeds their powerful lust for revenge upon the haughty, disdainful mistress they serve. Adapted from Jean Genet's absurdist play into a riveting cinematic experience.
