Synopsis

Set in the 1930's, GILLES' WIFE is a haunting tale of love and betrayal in a small mining town on the outskirts of France. It tells the story of Elisa (Emmanuelle Devos), a devoted wife who begins to suspect her husband Gilles (Clovis Cornillac) is having an affair with her younger sister. Determined to save her marriage, Elisa undertakes a strange and disquieting battle to recover what she has lost, and to become once again, Gilles' wife.

A startling new film from director Frederic Fonteyne (UNE LIAISON PORNOGRAPHIQUE aka A PORNAGRAPHIC AFFAIR aka AN AFFAIR OF LOVE), it features an extraordinary performance from Emmanuelle Devos (KINGS AND QUEEN).
