Plot summary edit

Jakob Störr (Gijs Naber) is a sea captain in charge of freighters. After taking ill at sea his cook advises him to take a wife. Indifferent to the idea, Jakob informs a friend that he intends to marry and that it makes little difference who his wife is. He suggests he will marry the next woman who walks into the café. Seeing the beautiful Lizzy (Léa Seydoux) he proposes that they marry the following day and she suggests they wait a week.

Jakob and Lizzy are married and are initially quite happy with each other. Jakob leaves for months at a time and is satisfied to always have Lizzy at home waiting for him.

Milán Füst's novel, The Story of My Wife, was one of Enyedi's favorites when she was a teenager, which led her to adapt it into a film.[2] In February 2018, it was announced Léa Seydoux had joined the cast of the film, with Ildikó Enyedi directing from a screenplay she wrote. Monika Mécs, Maren Ade, Jonas Dornbach, Janine Jackowski, Flaminio Zadra, Pilar Saavedra Perrotta producing under their Inforg-M&M Film, Komplizen Film and Palosanto Films banners, respectively.[3] In April 2019, it was announced Gijs Naber, Louis Garrel, Josef Hader, Sergio Rubini and Jasmine Trinca had joined the cast of the film.[4] The dialogue is primarily in English because in the 1920s English was the primary language in the shipping industry.[2]

Filming began on April 8 and in Hamburg, Budapest, and Malta.[4]
