"These people walk the same corridors as us and forget where they come from, who they are." It is with this harsh reminder that Sumer Seth, a guest at a posh hotel fires housekeeping staff - Fanny Lobo when she's caught trying on his girlfriend's lingerie.
SHAME is a dark comedy that walks the thin line that separates the two worlds; the haves from the have-nots; the affluent from the service providers; the indulgent from the repressed. And it is when Fanny slips and crosses the forbidden line in a moment of temptation that she confronts both the wrath of her employers and the demon within.
Shame is the twisted journey of a meek, vulnerable woman who emerges from the background to unapologetically reclaim her dignity, confidence and her right to desire.
