Wives

Wives is a delightful, ironic look at how a new generation of women was beginning to rebel against social conventions and gender expectations. Clearly inspired by John Cassavetes’ Husbands, Wives begins as three old friends meet at a school reunion. After trading the current details of their lives, the women come to realize how much they are dominated by their respective husbands’ needs and demands. Aching for a taste of freedom, the three decide to go off on a brief holiday spree together, away from jobs and families.
