Storyline

Though only 14 years old, May is selected to be the third wife of a wealthy landowner. Her new home seems idyllic, her husband favours her, and she quickly becomes pregnant with what she is certain will be the desired male progeny. But trouble is quietly brewing: she witnesses a forbidden tryst that will spark a chain reaction of misfortunes — and stir in May urges that until now had been dormant.

Critics consensus

“The Third Wife uses one woman's experiences as the framework for a reserved period drama whose haunting beauty belies its devastating impact.”

The Third Wife spends its time considering the hidden depths of these women not only as defined by their individual wants but also by what society dictates upon them.

Perhaps most remarkable is the contrast between the intense interior drama and the lush, languorous world in which it rages.

It's certainly a curiosity for connoisseurs of Third World cinema.

Mayfair’s first film is one well-constructed and daring examination of such injustices, and it’s absolutely worth checking out.
