And now something completely different ... After the sympathetic and poetic dramas "Butterfly" and "Paterson", a masterpiece of newer Asian cinema, the Korean erotic thriller "Maid", arrives in the Kino Zona!
Inspired by the novel "Fingersmith" by British writer Sarah Waters, Park moves the plot of a Victorian film to Korea during the period when Japan colonized Korea in the 1930s. The former convict Fujiwara wants to get a large inheritance from the rich Japanese Hideko, so he persuades Sook-Hee, a poor girl without parents, to help him with that. The plan is for Sook-Hee to start working as a maid for Hideko to convince her to fall in love with Fujiwara. Fujiwara, on the other hand, introduces himself as a count, and becomes a close friend of Uncle Kouzuki, a pervert and abuser, who also intends to marry Hideko. However, when the relationship between Sook-Hee and Hideko experiences an unexpected turnaround, the situation becomes complicated ...
