The Wife
Synopsis
Behind any great man, there’s always a greater woman… and you’re about to meet her.
Joan Castleman (Glenn Close): a still-striking beauty with impeccable credentials, the perfect alpha wife. For forty years, she’s sacrificed her own talent, dreams, and ambitions to fan the flames of her charismatic husband Joe (Jonathan Pryce) and his skyrocketing literary career, ignoring his infidelities and excuses because of his “art” with grace and humour.
Their fateful pact has built a marriage upon uneven compromises, and Joan’s reached her breaking point. On the eve of Joe’s Nobel Prize for Literature, she confronts the greatest sacrifice of her life and the secret of his career.
The Wife is a poignant, funny, and emotional journey - a celebration of womanhood, self-discovery, and liberation.
