Jean-Louis lives a bourgeois existence absorbed in his work, cohabitating peacefully with his neurotic wife Suzanne while their children are away at boarding school. The couple's world is turned upside-down when they hire a new Spanish maid, María. Through María, Jean-Louis is introduced to an alternative reality just a few floors up on the building's sixth floor, the servants' quarters. He befriends a group of sassy Spanish maids who teach him there's more to life than stocks and bonds.
