Trophy Wife (2010)

In the heart of a pulsating umbrella factory, Suzanne Pujol lives as an ornamental trophy wife, her life bound by the rhythm of domestic duties and the whims of her domineering, unfaithful husband. When a labor dispute triggers his heart attack, she's thrust into the chaotic realm of the family business, her two adult children in tow. Navigating the unfamiliar territory, Suzanne proves a surprisingly adept leader, reviving the factory's heartbeat with a blend of her values and cunning strategies. However, the stage of her success is beset with challenges. The specter of her husband's impending return looms large, threatening to shatter the equilibrium she's painstakingly established. Her daughter's crumbling marriage adds another layer of complexity, mirroring the fragility of her own marital bonds. Amidst this turmoil, an ember from her past rekindles - Babin, the leftist mayor and MP, who once held a significant place in her heart, re-enters her life. A former union leader, his lingering affection for Suzanne further stirs the pot. As she navigates this intricate labyrinth of business, love, and personal complications, Suzanne must protect the legacy she's built while facing the ghosts of her past. Is this trophy wife merely a decorative piece, or will she prove to be the linchpin that holds everything together? "Trophy Wife" is a compelling narrative of resilience, power, and the surprising strength that can emerge when everything seems lost.
