Madame is a 2017 French comedy-drama film directed by Amanda Sthers. The film is a satire of the class divide in today's Paris.

Anne and Bob, an American couple living in Paris, organize a dinner party and invite ten friends. Bob's son with another mother arrives by surprise and the total number of guests is now 13. The superstitious Anne asks her maid, Maria, to pretend to be a rich Spanish friend and join the table. Maria meets David, a well to do Irish art scholar. Bob’s son, who is not a fan of his stepmother Anne, tells David that Maria is actually royalty but will not admit it. They both like each other and start a relationship. When David tells Maria he knows who she really is, she believes he knows she is a maid. Anne is furious when she learns her maid has entered a relationship with David. Anne, who is also having an affair with her husband's friend is not ashamed of her own classism, is herself worried that she has outgrown her role as a younger wife and takes the blooming relationship with her friend and maid personally.
