Version 2
This is a remake of the 1945 American film of the same name by Jean Renoir, based on the novel of the same name by French writer Mirbeau. In 1939, an introverted and well-bred woman came to Provence from Paris to work as a maid for an upper-class family. She soon discovers that this is a rather depraved family, full of hypocrisy and eccentricities, and that some seemingly innocuous hobbies may well have contributed to the death of a girl. The maid decided to conduct a private investigation to find out the truth of the incident.
