Middle-aged composer Dong Sik has his hands full trying to provide for his pregnant wife and two kids. He hires a housemaid to help out around the house, but the strange and sultry young woman has other plans in mind as she sets out to seduce Dong Sik.

Influencing the Oscar®-winning Parasite, it has been said that Kim Ki-young’s The Housemaid changed the course of South Korean cinema forever. An immense success when released in 1960, this striking masterpiece is a blend of sexual obsession and class struggle, horror and social critique.
