10/14/2011 A Moroccan girl living in Marrakesh enters into a common agreement to clean the home of a Frenchman. She will be paid a year's wages for seven days of maid service that includes much more than fluffing the pillows. However, each is reluctant to consummate the arrangement just as sexual sparks begin to fly, because both sense a much deeper connection between them. As they begin to sort out their feelings, they seem unable to assure the other (and themselves) of doubts about the other's motives. Is he simply using her, or is she actually the one trying to take advantage of him? Just as one is assured, doubt rises in the other. She doubts him when he wants to marry her, but then is dismayed when she is betrothed to another. Amazing, constant tension weave through the film, as they maddeningly attempt to sort out their true motives and understand their love for one another. Psychological thriller, no romance here.

See more 08/31/2009 Imagine the long and troublesome French colonial involvment in North Africa told as a dysfunctional love-hate relationship between an older jaded Frenchman with a villa and a young, uneducated former prostitute that he hires to tend his gardens, and you will have a pretty good idea what this film is doing.
