Plots:
A year in the life of an upper-middle-class family’s maid in Mexico City in the early 1970s.
Cleo is one of two domestic workers who help Antonio and Sofía take care of their four children in 1970s Mexico City. Complications soon arise when Antonio suddenly runs away with his mistress and Cleo finds out that she’s pregnant. When Sofía decides to take the kids on vacation, she invites Cleo for a much-needed getaway to clear her mind and bond with the family.
In the upscale Colonia Roma district of Mexico City, change is afoot. Pivoting around Dr Antonio’s middle-bourgeoisie family, the story follows the lives of two women: Cleo, a devoted live-in maid of Mixteco heritage, and Sofía, her academic employer. During one eventful year–from the quadrennial 1970s World Cup to the bloody Corpus Christi Massacre–their lives become inextricably intertwined when an ordinary business trip to Quebec leads to bitter heartbreak. Faced with unforeseen challenges, such as the complications of love and trying to find good in evil, Sofía and Cleo try to live in the now. After all, life always finds a way.
