Diary of a Chambermaid background

Diary of a Chambermaid

A stylish and confident woman from Paris shakes up the traditional dynamics of a rural estate when she takes a job as a maid, exposing the dark secrets and repressed desires of the estate's inhabitants.

In this country estate, a chambermaid named Celestine takes up a new job with the peculiar Monteil family. The wife is cold, the husband is a hunter with a roving eye, and the father has an unusual shoe fetish. Meanwhile, the farm laborer, Joseph, harbors fascist views and has a crush on Celestine. After the old man's passing, Celestine decides to stay with the family, suspecting Joseph of the brutal murder of a young girl, Little Claire. To extract a confession from him, Celestine engages in a fake romance and promises to marry him, all while fabricating evidence to incriminate him. Despite her engagement, Celestine marries the former officer instead, adopting the same submissive role as Madame Monteil.
