Development as a major film
Molly Gray isn’t like everyone else. She struggles with social skills and misreads other people’s intentions. Her Gran once explained the world to her, sorting it into simple rules on which Molly could survive.
Molly, twenty-five, has been causing complexity in her life alone since Gran passed away a few months ago. It’s OK – She became a job as a hotel maid as a fanatic. Her unique role, and her obsession with cleaning and proper etiquette, make her perfect for the job. She wore a crispy uniform every morning, covered her shopping cart with miniature soap and bottles, and returned to the guest room at the Regent Hotel to make it perfect.
But the day Molly’s orderly life is upended by the day she enters the suite of the infamous and wealthy Charles Black, only to find it in a state of chaos, while Mr. Black himself died in bed. Molly’s unusual behavior made the police use her as the suspect before she knew what was going on. She soon found herself in trouble with the cheated network and she didn’t know how to untie it. Fortunately, Molly, a friend, never knew she was united with her to find clues to what really happened to Mr. Black, but could they find the real killer before it was too late?
The Maid is a line-like, locked room mystery and spiritually heart-warming journey that explores the same meaning as everyone else but is completely different – and reveals that all mysteries can be solved by connecting to the human heart.
