About
Rent on Apple TV+ or buy on Apple TV+.
A wife questions her life choices as she travels to Stockholm with her husband, where he is slated to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Behind the champagne toasts and Nobel Prize accolades lies a quiet, simmering resentment from a woman who spent decades ghostwriting her husband's success. This intimate character study peels back the polished layers of a prestigious marriage to reveal the heavy cost of shared brilliance.
