Trophy Wife

• Comedy

In 1977 France, a sudden workers’ strike and the resulting heart attack of a factory owner unexpectedly thrusts his seemingly submissive wife, Suzanne, into a position of power. What begins as temporary management during her husband's recovery transforms into a quietly subversive exploration of class and gender roles as Suzanne discovers an unexpected aptitude—and perhaps a secret enjoyment—in navigating the ruthless world of factory management, even embracing a steely pragmatism previously unseen. The film isn't a boisterous feminist rallying cry, but a subtly humorous and increasingly captivating portrait of a woman finding agency and a curious liberation through economic control, rebelling not with slogans, but with shrewd calculations and a newfound confidence that challenges both her husband's expectations and the established order.
