The Last Days of Emma Blank

In a large country home, the owner Emma Blank is very ill and is cared for by her staff: Haneveld the head housekeeper, Bella the cook, Gonnie the maid, Meier the man-servant and Theo the dog. Despite her desperate need for loving care, Emma is a steely, avaricious dictator whose demands become ever more absurd, to the extent that her staff is driven to madness. What’s more shocking is that these staff is actually Emma’s family members, they take on these roles just to fulfill Emma’s wishes. Until the day that they discover that they stand to inherit nothing and they drop off their charade of caring and concern and instead plot their revenge. Described by a reviewer as “a darker than dark comedy”, “The Last Days of Emma Blank” is a family drama about “power and manipulation”.
