Defying class and cultural boundaries, young Pond struggles to come to terms with the inevitable departure of the woman who works as his family’s housemaid. She too does not want to let go of their unique and wondrous bond. A generous and tender look at a connection that we rarely see or celebrate, Housemaid is a beautifully lensed and delightfully textured film.

Themes: socio-economic class, generational divide, love, loss, paternal connection, family
