This September, be prepared to see beauty queen Kylie Verzosa transform from innocent to wild in Viva’s erotic thriller, The Housemaid.
In her first starring role, Kylie Verzosa plays Daisy, a woman in her 20s who is offered a huge salary to take care of Nami (Elia Ilano), daughter of billionaire William (Albert Martinez) and his wife Roxanne (Louise Delos Reyes), who is pregnant with twins.
Daisy succeeds in building rapport with the young child. However, she also succeeds in getting the attention of her powerful patriarch boss. William begins to secretly flirt with Daisy, enticing her with glasses of wine and his piano playing skills. They will eventually begin a sexual relationship.
Meanwhile, Daisy’s lady boss, Roxanne remains unsuspecting. But there is someone in the mansion that Daisy cannot fool—Ms. Martha (Jaclyn Jose), the mayordoma.
Nothing escapes Martha’s keen eyes. And though she harbors resentment towards her employers, she continues to do her job well. Moreover, she’s been with Roxanne’s family since she was a child. Will Martha’s loyalty to William’s wife be detrimental to Daisy’s fate?
Apart from Ms. Martha, Daisy also has to be mindful Madam Ester (Alma Moreno), Roxanne’s mom. Although Ester has no power over her very domineering son-in-law, she is still a mother who must protect her daughter.
What does Daisy expect to get out of her stolen moments with William? What is the price to pay for sleeping with this powerful married man?
Directed by Roman Perez, The Housemaid is an adaptation of a South Korean film that was first shown in 1960 and was remade in 2010. Originally entitled Hanyo, the 2010 film won awards in different international film festivals, including Fantasporto in Portugal, Oslo Film from the South Festival, and even our very own Cinemanila International Festival. It also received a nomination for the Palme d’Or, the highest award at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival.
Director Roman Perez said that he watched both Korean versions, carefully noting what’s similar and different about them. He guarantees that he was able to incorporate the Filipino context and adapt it to the treatment of this film.
