A heart and soul comedy. Can you dig it?
Claudine is a single mother in New York City who endures an exhausting commute to the suburbs where she works as a maid for wealthy families.

Romance quickly ensues, but Claudine doubts that their relationship is good for her six children, and Rupert, despite his good nature, is reluctant to take on fatherhood.
