Catherine and her husband Georges Lelièvre think they’ve found a real gem when they hire as their maid a discreet, quiet and illiterate girl named Sophie. Sophie has hidden her handicap from her new employers, and she finds herself facing the problem of performing simple, everyday tasks like interpreting a shopping list. Sophie becomes a friend of Jeanne, a very strange young woman torn between her job as a postal worker and an imaginary life of dreams and fantasies. Jeanne, whose past is equally dramatic, encourages Sophie to rebel against her employers. A macabre dance begins for these two cast offs, blending good and evil.
