In a small medieval farming town with rigid social hierarchy and patriarchal culture, a reclusive fisherwoman is ostracized due to her persistent fish smell and rejection of institutionalized marriage. When the japes at her spinster status intensify, she sarcastically commissions for herself a husband made out of wicker. The master weaver brings the Wicker Husband to life, where his utility and dedication to his wife creates a romance so pure it causes absolute chaos amongst the villagers of the closed-minded town.

On the outskirts of a coastal village lives a Fisherwoman; smelly, single and perpetually ridiculed. One day, fed up with her small-minded neighbours, she commissions herself a husband to be made from wicker. This unconventional romance sparks outrage, jealousy and chaos in this highly entertaining comedy. ★★★★★ "Colman weaves an astonishing performance... a class of her own": The Times
