La Nana is a successful psychological film that focuses on the life of Raquel, who has been serving as a servant to a wealthy family with four children for more than 20 years, but soon becomes an authority as if she is not a maid but a lady of the house. The film with the character Raquel, played by Catalina Saavedra, who displayed a very strong acting; She focuses on the story of a female character who is separated from her family for years and is so obsessed that she is jealous of a second maid brought home when she suffers from health problems, but is so unbalanced that her devotion and love grows in her hands and becomes jealous of the daughter of the house. La Nana; With the character of the lady of the house, who was under the influence of Raquel and could not resist her despite all her dangerous misdemeanors, it reminds us profusely of Hegel's slave-master dialectic. On the other hand, the audience also sees that the human and loving side within him emerges when the last of the servants who were brought home but whom Raquel had somehow removed from the house showed some affection to him. At this point, all the factors that make Raquel become Raquel are questioned and the antipathy felt towards her from the very beginning suddenly turns into sympathy. The film that seems to tell an ordinary maid story; It is one of the hidden treasures with its realistic expression without exaggeration, its psychological infrastructure successfully fictionalized and especially the extremely impressive acting of Catalina Saavedra.
