Editorial Reviews

Beba supo ser una dama de clase acomodada, que hoy debe trabajar como vendedora puerta a puerta de productos de belleza. Sus aros de oro y su mucama, Dora, son los últimos bastiones de un estatus que no se resigna a perder. Dora llegó del Chaco a los 17 años para trabajar "cama adentro" en la casa de Beba. Desde entonces, con su magro sueldo ha ido construyendo una casita que no puede terminarla porque Beba le adeuda seis meses de sueldo. Cansada de escuchar las falsas promesas de pago de su patrona y dispuesta a vivir su propia vida tiempo completo, Dora decide renunciar. Beba le pide un plazo para reunir la suma adeudada, mientras intenta persuadir a Dora para que no la deje. Allí salen a relucir las aristas más filosas de una relación signada por los prejuicios de clase y códigos de poder, pero también marcada por un mutuo afecto, cimentado durante más de tres décadas de convivencia

4.0 out of 5 stars The Fall (Cama Adentro - Live In Maid), September 24, 2008

How do you explain the 2001 Argentine Debacle without explicit takes of people throwing stones at cops? This is the way. Gaggero's first feature is a portrait of two classes (represented by two wonderful women) at the brink of collapse. One from Belgrano (the cradle of Buenos Aires urban bourgeois strata), and previously from posh Martinez, and the other from impoverished Alejandro Korn, a suburb that looks like an empty field (only 44 km from Buenos Aires). When Beba, the "señora", gets to the point where she cannot pay Dora's wages, the employer-employee relationship starts to break and we are left with the rests of it: the comeback of humanity. It is to note that once the danger of meltdown has passed, the middle-high Argentineans came back to the same disgusting attitudes against the poor, and with a vengeance.

I happened to stumble on this movie on cable and I tapped in Tivo..I love it. It has all the feelings from the rich people and poor people. Big Lesson...the rich one lose it all and go asking the poor for assistance. Norma Leandro y Norma Argentina really did a WONDERFUL JOB. I would love to have it in my collection..why so expensive??
