La Camarista (The Chambermaid) is a tough film about a maid at a very expensive hotel in Mexico City. We spend our time with her as she cleans hotel rooms, makes friends, tries to get her GED, hopes to get transferred to a better-paying job, and calls her young son on the phone. It's a very, very good film and even enjoyable. But it's a film about a very difficult life, about a woman who has very few pleasures.
