This film is a political and poetic portrait of the daily life of a low class woman who plays the part of a cleaning lady. Ramona lives in the suburbs of Buenos Aires. Every day she travels four hours and a half to reach her job and to get back home. She divides her working time between two upper middle-class homes where she receives the name of Réimon, a sound that evokes the English language, a Buenos Aires upper class snobbish custom. It´s fiction and it´s not. It´s also a film about the labour conditions of a worker, about the time this worker uses for working and the efforts that implies working. It´s also about the absurdity of cleaning someone else´s house, the absurdity of modern life and the differences between social classes.

A lot of fun.
I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
