 Paris in the 1960s. Jean-Louis Joubert is a wealthy middle-aged stockbroker, living in bourgeois comfort in a stylish 19th century apartment with his neurotic socialite wife Suzanne. Their French maid is dismissed (for failing to cook M Joubert’s breakfast egg correctly) and a replacement must be found. It is fashionable to have a Spanish maid, and the Joubert’s learn that there are several such maids living in the sixth floor of their own building. Monsieur Joubert’s encounter with this colourful and lively clan makes him question his own tepid existence. Could there be more to life than stocks and shares? The world of both Jean-Louis and Suzanne will never be the same again.
