Here is the plot description for “Potiche”:
Set in 1977 in a provincial French town, “Potiche” is a free adaptation of the 1970s eponymous hit comic play. Catherine Deneuve is Suzanne Pujol: a submissive, housebound “trophy housewife” (or “potiche”) who steps in to manage the umbrella factory run by her wealthy and tyrannical husband (Fabrice Luchini) after the workers go on strike and take him hostage. To everyone’s surprise, Suzanne proves herself a competent and assertive woman of action.
But when her husband returns from a restful cruise in top form, things get complicated. Gérard Depardieu plays a former union leader and Suzanne’s ex-beau who still holds a flame for her. Acclaimed writer/director François Ozon (“Swimming Pool,” “Under the Sand,” “Time to Leave”), who had previously directed Deneuve in the international hit “8 Women,” twists the original play on its head to create his own satirical and hilarious take on the war between the sexes and classes.
“Potiche” reunites French cinema legends Catherine Deneuve and Gérard Depardieu in an ensemble cast that includes comic greats Fabrice Luchini and Karin Viard (as Luchini’s secretary and mistress) while Judith Godrèche and Jérémie Renier play the Pujols’ entitled daughter and sexually ambiguous son. The impeccable 1970s era set design and costumes were created by Katia Wyzkop and Pascaline Chavanne respectively.
The movie trailer for “Potiche” can be watched now below.

There would never be
There would never be a time!
I will always be a trophy
I will always be a trophy wife. For me, being a trophy wife would include being a strong and beautiful woman inside and out. I work, I stay looking good for me and my man, and I take care of my family. I am the foundation. I’m a winner and I was a good catch. That’s what makes me the trophy wife. As for the trophy wife that just sits there and looks good, you could definitely think that about me b/c I wouldn’t mind.
Under what conditions would you be a trophy wife/husband?
Only if I had unlimited access to lots of money, no talkback on how I spent it or how I conducted myself, and absolutely no way of getting that access cut off.
Which is probably why I will never be a trophy wife. I value my independence and ability to decide what happens too much.
Trophy Wife
You can be attractive and still have a mind, so never!
I'd do it so long as he respected me.
And our relationship. Oh, and there’d need to be lots of money to explore all the things I’ve got an interest in. I think it could work in the right context. lol
Trophy Wife
Almost any!
Trophy Wife
I think that I could easily be a trophy wife. I think that if the man was decent to me—not too controlling or put limits on what I could wear, etc. And gave me access to the money so that I could help people and travel. AND allowed me to work sometimes when I was bored I could do it.
only of im in
only of im in financial hardship
Potiche
If I loved the person who wanted me to be their trophy and the prized me it would be okay.
Potiche
if i was guaranteed to get a lot of money
