Super-cool maid shakes up a wealthy Buenos Aires family in a debut that flips power dynamics and delivers a solid kick to patriarchy.

When the relaxed and sensual Linda steps in for her cousin as a housekeeper, she does so with confident brilliance, showing no intention of submitting. She works in jeans and a tank top, listens with polite indeifference to instructions, and handles crude comments from party guests with measured detachment. Soon, she possesses secrets about the family’s four members, all of whom are drawn to her. Linda dismisses male advances with disdain while showing greater, but controlled, warmth towards the women. Mariana Wainstein lets her Linda defiantly turn perspectives upside down; she casually shatters male egos as well as the power structures between master and servant. And she allows female desire and strength to replace traditional sacrifice.
