About The Policeman's Wife
The story of a young couple who live in a small town with their four-year-old daughter. The husband is so caught up in his work as a policeman that he gradually becomes increasingly alienated from his wife and daughter who become ever closer to one another as they discover the new town. It is only a matter of time before the conflicts within the family manifest themselves.
Directed by Philip Gröning, The Policeman's Wife leans on a strong ensemble — Alexandra Finder, David Zimmerschied, Chiara Kleemann — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2013.
