A hotel maid living and working on a resort island watches a vacationing couple playing chess on the patio and becomes obsessed with the game. It becomes her way to escape the grinding humdrum of her existence. Through pluck and practice she increases her skill, risking gossip and family pressure, and eventually plays in a local tournament.
Sweet little story well told. Nice mise-en-scene and supporting cast.
