Drama
A speculative account of the life of
Griet, a 16-year-old girl who appears in Johannes
Vermeer's painting of the same title. Set in 17th
century Holland, Griet is employed by Vermeer as a
housemaid to care for his six children, his jealous
pregnant wife and his uncommunicative mother-in-law.
Tensions arise when Vermeer's wife suspects intimacy
between her husband and the girl--and then climax, when
the wife discovers that Griet borrowed her precious
pearl earrings to sit for the now famous portrait.
