Story
Ana, a young woman from Colombia, arrives at a lavish mansion on Spain's Costa Brava to work as an uncontractual maid for a wealthy family of art dealers during their summer holiday. She works tirelessly, serving the family and their privileged guests, while being promised fair compensation if she remains obedient and discreet. Despite her initial compliance, Ana begins to explore her own desires and agency within the confines of her role, navigating the hedonistic world of the wealthy and discovering new freedoms.
Summary
'Calladita' (Spanish for 'quietly'), directed by Miguel Faus in 2023, is a comedic drama set against the backdrop of Spain's Costa Brava elite. The film explores class conflict through the eyes of Ana, a Colombian maid working for a wealthy family. While serving her employers and their indulgent lifestyle, Ana begins to find her voice and challenge societal expectations placed upon her.
