Summer at the Pergola: The Housemaid | Film Thursday & Outdoor Cinema

Fresh releases and great cinema, every Thursday at 21:30. Screenings take place under the open sky, surrounded by the Multimedia Fountain and the greenery of the Pergola. The Film Thursdays programme features exclusively new films – both major hits and less obvious stories.

These cinematic gems are accompanied by the film-like setting of the Pergola. The murmur of the Fountain, the greenery, and the magic of cinema under the stars give every screening a unique atmosphere. Not even bad weather can spoil it – if necessary, screenings will be moved indoors within the complex.

The number of deckchairs available on site is limited. It’s worth arriving early to grab a spot, or simply bring a blanket and settle in comfortably on the grass.

Fleeing the demons of her past, Millie takes a job in the home of a wealthy couple whose dark secrets will soon prove to be a deadly threat to her. A film adaptation of the first instalment of Freida McFadden’s novel series, whose books have become a worldwide phenomenon, captivating millions of readers around the globe.

Millie has a difficult past behind her, so what she is looking for today is a peaceful harbour, far from the hustle and potential trouble. She is therefore happy to take a job as a housemaid in the large home of the wealthy Winchester couple. She cleans, cooks, picks up her employers’ daughter from school, and spends her free moments alone in a small attic room. Although the behaviour of the household members begins to arouse increasing unease in her, she tries to ignore it. After all, she envies Mrs Winchester her opulent, perfect life. However, when one day she discovers the Winchesters’ secret, hidden behind the thick walls of the residence, she will realise that she is facing a deadly threat. Unexpectedly, the experiences of her difficult past may come to her aid.
