The Happy Housewife

Directed by Antoinette Beumer

Written by Karen van Holst Pellekaan, Heleen van Royen, Marnie Blok, Judith Hees

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. So, when Harry Jr. arrives, she is a little traumatized at having to swap canapés for nappies.
