Suzanne is the submissive house-bound wife of wealthy industrialist Robert Pujol, who runs an umbrella factory with a tyrannical rule and has his spokes in everyone's business, especially his wife and children.

One day, his workers go on strike and take Robert hostage. Suzanne must now step in to manage the factory. This trophy-wife takes everyone by surprise, becoming a woman of action. But things get complicated when Robert returns. Adapted from a 1970's play, the film is a musical comedy.

Oceans
