Claire and Solange are two sisters and housemaids to their mistress, ‘Madame’. They live in a constant state of emotional tension, alternating between feelings of love and hatred towards their employer. They love her because they dream to be like her, and hate her because she embodies the same society and establishment which rejects them. Every night when their mistress is away, they steal her clothes and perform a ritual in which one of them plays the Madame while the other a servant, but fiction and reality are easily confused and the two women eventually become victims of their own obsessive and perverse games.
Cast includes: MFA Acting’s Amanda Gann
