How to become a trophywife in 10 days

A trophy wife coaches women on how to snag millionaires while comically figuring out her own worth.

synopsis

Nobody believes Erika, a fifty-year-old blonde bombshell, when she insists she truly loves her husband Robert (75) – a jailed real-estate mogul. Stripped of her lavish lifestyle and desperate for cash, she reinvents herself as a trophy wife coach. Her eager students include an ambitious sugar baby, an artistic trophy boy, a disillusioned nurse, and Janina – a jaded journalist undercover as a widow to expose Erika’s “gold-digger bootcamp”. Sparks fly, claws come out… until Janina realises there’s more behind Erika’s glamorous façade. Beneath the sequins is a woman who genuinely helps her students face their fears, flip the power dynamic, and even discover independence. Janina even unexpectedly falls for the charming millionaire Amir. Erika, too, grows stronger and starts to question her own marriage. With grit, glitter, and a surprising friendship, Erika redefines for herself what it means to be a trophy wife, while she and Janina team up to uncover the shady scheme that landed Robert behind bars. Clearing his name could restore Erika’s old life… but does she even want it? Together, Erika, Janina, and the diverse group of students navigate a world of empowerment, love, and self-discovery, ultimately redefining what it means to be a trophy wife.

Director’statement

I want to have a happy end and write a new, entertaining rom-com classic that you can watch over and over again, on rainy days, after a bad date, or after an argument with your children and husband. The larger-than-life blonde bombshell Erika and the cynical journalist Janina, and all the other multilayered women from the course become friends with whom you can laugh, cry and simply have a good time.
