Trophy Wife [Potiche]

FR, 2010, R: François Ozon mit Catherine Deneuve, Gérard Depardieu, Fabrice Luchini, 103 Min, OmeU

In 1977 France, tightfisted factory owner Robert Pujol (Fabrice Luchini) is so shocked when his workers strike for higher wages that he suffers a heart attack.

His acquiescent wife, Suzanne (Catherine Deneuve), whose father had founded the factory, takes over management duties during Robert's convalescence. To her own surprise, Suzanne turns out to be a natural leader whose less dictatorial management inspires both her workers and local liberal politician Babin (Gérard Depardieu).
