On the outskirts of a village by the sea, lives a Fisherwoman; smelly, single and perpetually ridiculed. One day, fed up with her stuffy, small-minded neighbours, she commissions herself a husband to be made from wicker. In an otherwise conservative town, this unconventional romance sparks outrage, jealousy and chaos.

Based on the story The Wicker Husband by Ursula Wills, Wicker stars the enduringly brilliant Olivia Colman as Fisherwoman, an outcast in her local village, bartering her aquatic goods amongst the sneering and jeering of the locals who constantly tease her. Richard E Grant also turns on the brilliance as the doctor. The Guardian turned its nose up it the film but London Film Festival loved it.
