Through the story of May, married at the age of 14 to a rich landowner, Ash Mayfair's first feature film depicts the subjection of women in 19th-century Vietnam. The film elegantly follows the heroine's path towards personal freedom.
Winning multiple awards since its selection for the Toronto International Film Festival, The Third Wife is as beautiful as a silk scarf used to wipe away bloody tears.
