After a lifetime of service to one household, a maid finds herself replaced. At 87, she starts to question her role in the family.

Titi has worked as a maid for the Torres family for the past 65 years, caring for three generations. Now in the twilight of her life and as a new maid enters the household, Titi questions her choices and her role within the family unit. The film’s director is the grandson of the family. With impressive intimacy he reveals the unique complexities of Titi’s life, caught in a dynamic that blurs labour, love, power, care and authority.
