خلاصه داستان : یک زن جوان رومانیایی ساکن فرانسه برای یک خانواده فرانسوی کار می کند و به یک گروه تئاتری می پیوندد که در حال اقتباس از "دفترچه خاطرات یک مجلسی" اثر اکتاو میربو هستند.

Gianina, a young Romanian, works as a housekeeper for a bourgeois family in Bordeaux. In the evenings, she rehearses the role of a maid with an amateur theater troupe in an adaptation of The Diary of a Chambermaid by Octave Mirbeau. She takes care of Louen, her employers’ son, while her own daughter is growing up far from her, in Romania. The maternal absence deepens into a wound but, as Christmas approaches, the promise of a reunion begins to take shape.
