Magda, a female writer struggling for success, employs an elderly woman called Emerence (Helen Mirren) to be her housekeeper. From their first encounter, it is clear that Emerence is no ordinary maid. Although everyone in the neighbourhood knows and respects her, no one knows anything about her private life or has ever been allowed to enter her home. However, a dramatic event in the writer's life prompts Emerence to unveil glimpses of her traumatic past - a past which sheds light on her very peculiar behaviour. (Rialto Distribution)

Helen Mirren might be quite good in this one, but she’s also pretty cranky. And what good is it that she eventually admits to all her mistakes for no reason whatsoever? I mean I was watching two pretty strange female characters whose relationship is really hard to describe. And even though this movie tried to come up with a description, it didn’t work well enough for me to enjoy the movie at least for a while. So, the only remaining nice moment is when Jiří Menzel makes an appearance in the role of a specialist doctor.
