一個名叫艾瑪的貴婦，住在鄉間大宅，百般挑剔她可憐的傭人，然而這些看似甘之如飴的下人，其實都在等她死，好繼承為數可觀的遺產。當人性因貪婪而扭曲到極點，連扮小狗大便都在所不惜！這齣荒謬劇讓《服務生之死》的編導演全才亞歷斯馮華麥丹再展黑色幽默，當片中角色關係一一揭露，更讓人覺得骨冷變態。

This jet-black comedy from Dutch director Alex van Warmerdam concerns a nasty woman named Emma Blank. A crabby geriatric who lives in a seaside villa and is gradually withering away from cancer, she treats her servants like dogs. Her constant browbeating pushes them beyond the point of indignation and ultimately threatens to incite a small-scale rebellion.
