"This film is based on Knut Faldbakkens book "Sin Mors Hus" ("His Mothers House"), and was feared by the people in the filmbusiness in Norway due to its strong sexual content. Still it became a huge sucess at the theatres. It`s today known as one of Norways strangest films of the 70s" -- IMDb user comments

"The subject of "Wives" is that of those who here consider themselves a subject-race: women. It is a Norwegian film that makes its points far more effectively on behalf of that downtrodden species - the film's suggestion, not mine - because it can afford to joke about its ideas.... And it also see that men, too, have their problems in the way society sees the martial state.
The story begins with a class reunion and ends with the feeling that it has also examined the union that binds and polarises both sexes. It curious mixture of frivolity and seriousness doesn't always work, but it is certainly the best hilm i have yet seen on the subject of Women's Lib.
The woman director, Anja Breien, had followed the progress of three girl-friends who, after the reunion, decided to go on a spree. They are delightfully differentiated and utterly likeable. Mie, whose clowning disguises her vulnerability; Katja hiding her identity behind pregnancies; Heidrun, the proletarian who is too easily swayed by emotion.....It is a caring film, not only about its characters but about people as people."
(Tom Hutchinson, Sunday Telegraph)

希尔耶（Silje）与男友托马斯（Thomas）分手，但离开时发现自己忘记了手机，不得不返回公寓。当她回来时，托马斯正在上吊自杀。救下汤马斯后，在医院见到醒来的汤马斯，很明显他误解了，并认为西莉耶得到了悔意。出于顾虑，她接受了他的提议。他们与托马斯的兄弟埃里克和他的女友凯瑟琳一起前往家庭小屋。由于托马斯对他们撒谎，所以她找不到取消旅行的理由。一行人在一个远离文明的岛上，这四个角色之间出现了戏剧性的转折。

Ten years have passed since our three heroines' first outing in 1975. Now the women meet at yet another class reunion. Not surprisingly, they are still unwilling to call it a night after the party is over. Husbands and children must celebrate Christmas as best they can, while the women spend quality time drinking and taking stock of their lives.

This mellow comedy is the third entry in filmmaker Anja Breien's "Wives" series and stars the same three actresses who appeared in the first two. This episodic film begins with flashbacks to the 1975 film Wives and scenes from 1985's Wives: Ten Years Later. Now ten more years have passed and they are comfortably ensconced in middle age. They have gathered to hold a surprise birthday for Kaja aboard an Oslo streetcar. The three haven't seen each other in ages and much of the story focuses on their discussions of their disparate lives. Every word, smile and tear they share affirms the depth of their lasting friendship.
