Three stories of three housemaids: Martina, shop steward, serves a marriage that can not have children because she entered the house with that condition. Basilia, Cateta coming to serve and not do anything, the contract for a small fee and let she carry a transistor always hung over the shoulder. And Lali, a gorgeous girl, but very serious and decent, it does not last any longer than 24 hours home because everyone wants to conquer.
Acting
Florinda Chico's exasperated facial expressions carry entire scenes.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of Spain's destape movement—franco-era censorship had just ended, so filmmakers rushed to be provocative.
