FILM INFO

Les Femmes du 6^e étage (The Women on the 6th Floor aka Service Entrance))

Director Philippe Le Guay
Starring  Fabrice Luchini, Sandrine Kiberlain, Natalia Verbeke and Carmen Maura.
2011France,   106 min

Set in Paris in 1962, the story alternates between two different worlds. One is a traditional wealthy family in a comfortable apartment, whose lives are devoted to making money and meaningless socialising. The other is the underpaid and overworked domestic servants living in cramped conditions above them. As few French people want such work, the jobs are taken by Spanish women, eager to escape the poverty and oppression of Francoist Spain, who bring with them their native solidarity and human warmth
