The lady of the house (La Doña), an old widow, and Aridia, a young maid, live together in a house filled with orchids in the center of Santo Domingo. Aridia cleans, La Doña gardens, and when work is slow, they can share some gossip. But sometimes, the atmosphere gets tense: La Doña wakes up grumpy, she blames Aridia, and when Aridia tries to defend herself, La Doña has to put her in her place; in time, they end up not talking to each other. But the hours pass by, the soap operas play on TV, something happens in the neighborhood, and, out of nowhere, La Doña and Aridia come close again, and they end the day sharing some laughs. The film presents an opportunity to watch their relationship closely, to perceive what happens when the lines between classes become blurry in a place where social class and race inequality remain ingrained deep in their culture.
