About
A powerful drama about a woman's struggle for independence in the face of family tradition. Vivian (Ronit Elkabetz), trapped with 3 kids and a grinding routine, rages to express herself and live in the modern world. Her husband, a respected family man from Morocco, and her brothers keep her in line, but her lover tempts her to break loose - to be loved and free. To Take a Wife is a story of tradition, love and fear... of the future. The first film of a trilogy (Shivah, and Gett).
