A Decent Woman

Drama, Austria/Argentina 2016

Not available
When Belén, who comes from a poor background, takes a job as a housemaid with a rich family, she sees one of the remote outskirts of Buenos Aires for the first time in her life. High walls protect the property, behind which lies a jungle-like area. On one of her walks Belén discovers a nudist camp. Her secret visits as a voyeur become more and more frequent, but eventually she is accepted by the nudist "family" as a full member and experiences unprecedented licentiousness and harmony. But the clash of two worlds creates a friction that is not without consequences ... "Rinner develops his laconic romance in a completely unexpected direction, scraping past the surreal into the grotesque without ever slipping into the ridiculous. (ORF) "An exquisitely staged comedy with dry humour in the style of Jacques Tatis Mon oncle." (FilmSociety Lincoln Center New York)
