A single mother juggles caring for her two children with working a gruelling job as a chambermaid in a five-star Parisian hotel. Literally running from dawn to sunset, she’s on the verge of a nervous breakdown. So when she’s offered a job interview, she jumps at the opportunity – but fate has other plans.

Reviews

‘An expertly engineered kuckle-gnawer, with a stunning central turn. If you see this one playing at your local cinema…don’t think twice’
★★★★
David Jenkins

‘Watching the picture is a bit like getting your head clamped in a vice. Allow time to decompress afterward.’
★★★★

Plan your visit

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road. We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
