Tenir son foyer et se plier au devoir conjugal sans broncher : c’est ce qu’enseigne avec ardeur Paulette Van Der Beck dans son école ménagère. Ses certitudes vacillent quand elle se retrouve veuve et ruinée. Est-ce le retour de son premier amour ou le vent de liberté de mai 68 ? Et si la bonne épouse devenait une femme libre ?



Maintaining a household and stoically submitting to conjugal duty are the skills Paulette Van Der Beck teaches with fervor in her housekeeping school in Alsace. Her beliefs are shaken when she finds herself widowed and ruined. Is she rattled by the return of her first love or the wind of freedom in May '68? What if the good wife finally became a free woman?

HOW TO BE A GOOD WIFE is a humorous and satirical take on a universal story about solidarity and gender equality.
