Plot
Set in 1960s Paris, Jean-Louis (Luchini) is the uptight owner of a building that houses a bunch of Spanish maids on the sixth floor.

Slickly satirical '60s rom-com involving stockbroker Fabrice Luchini and the women in his life. However, patronising stereotypes and ungallant humour undermine the insights into bourgeois life.
