Director Philippe Le Guay’s gentle seriocomic fable,
The Women on the 6th Floor, stars Fabrice Luchini as Jean-Louis, a middle-aged stockbroker, husband, and father, living in Paris circa 1962. When the family’s temperamental maid bolts, Jean-Louis and his wife Suzanne (Sandrine Kiberlain) opt to hire a beautiful young immigrant named Maria (Natalia Verbeke), who resides on the sixth floor of their building with a coterie of Spanish women. Bit by bit, Jean-Louis becomes swept up in the uninhibited lives of these women, and he is magnetically drawn to Maria and everything she represents. Suddenly, his tried-and-true French family life begins to lose its appeal....
