Sophie is an introverted girl, taciturn. She came to work as a maid in the wealthy Le River house, easy-going and submissive, an ideal nanny, but she was afraid that they would know one of her secrets: it turned out that she was illiterate. Later, she met Jenny who worked at the post office in the town and became good friends with her. Jenny taught her to stand up bravely and face her bourgeois employer. When the employer learned of Sophie's secret and her privately bringing outsiders into the house, the conflict immediately intensified. Sophie and Jenny finally finished their revenge on the owner's family with a bloody murder
