The Last Days of Emma Blank (2009) on Netflix

Plot summary

A simple country house on the edge of the dunes. The house, the drive leading up to it, the lawns, the borders, it is all not exactly run-down, but it is high time for a facelift. Behind the house is the garage which is partly in use as a workshop. Under a mouldy-green, torn parasol we see Haneveld, a middle-aged man. He is the man of the house and is smoking a cigarette. Now he walks away and passes the garage where Meier, obscured by a pile of car tyres, is secretly reading a magazine in an old easy chair. Meier is the man-servant and about 25 years of age. Haneveld stands still in front of the open garage doors, drops his cigarette and steps it out. Through a small opening in the pile of car tyres Meier looks at Haneveld who is now looking in his direction. Meier ducks out of sight. Haneveld walks on and goes into the house through a door at the back. Together with him we enter the kitchen where we find Bella, a sturdy woman on the right side of fifty. She is the cook and the housekeeper. She stirs a large pan of soup, tastes some and adds a few ingredients. Haneveld washes his hands, dries them and leaves the kitchen. Haneveld goes up the stairs. He stops at a bedroom door and knocks. A weak yes? sounds. Haneveld opens the door. A girls room. Gonnie sits on the edge of her bed sewing a button on to her blouse. She is the servant girl, twenty years old and attractive.

Are you hurrying up? says Haneveld. Yes, Gonnie says. Haneveld closes the door, walks down the corridor.
