The Happy Housewife

About The Happy Housewife

Lea is an immaculate 30-something wife whose husband’s job in real estate allows her an enviably glossy lifestyle. The word ‘emancipation’ simply isn't in her vocabulary and as long as the money rolls in, all is rosy.

The screenplay is by Karen van Holst Pellekaan and Marnie Blok. The film began as a novel.
