Potiche is a 2010 French comedy film directed by Francois Ozon. Set in the 1970s, the story centers on Suzanne Pujol (Catherine Deneuve), a housewife who unexpectedly finds herself taking over her husband's umbrella factory after he falls ill. As she steps into this leadership role, Suzanne proves herself to be a competent and assertive manager, much to the surprise of those around her. Suzanne's transformation from a "trophy wife" or "potiche" into a confident businesswoman forms the crux of the story. The film, which is a light-hearted take on feminism and societal roles, stars Catherine Deneuve and Gerard Depardieu in leading roles.
