ITALIAN DESCRIPTION:
Delft, Olanda, XVII secolo. La vita scorre tranquilla nella prospera città olandese: ricchi e poveri, cattolici e protestanti, signori e servi, ognuno è al suo posto in un perfetto ordine sociale. Così, quando viene assunta come domestica in casa del celebre pittore Johannes Vermeer, Griet, una bella ragazza di sedici anni, riceve con precisione il suo compito: dovrà accudire con premura i sei figli dell’artista, non urtare la suscettibilità della scaltra suocera e, soprattutto, non irritare la sensuale, irrequieta, moglie del pittore e la sua gelosa domestica privata. Inesorabilmente, però, le cose andranno in modo diverso… Griet e Johannes Vermeer, divideranno complicità e sentimenti, tensione e inganni.
