How to steal a wife – an upbeat holiday comedy with characters trying to figure out if love is really stronger than money. Can you imagine what would happen if we locked a woman in a small apartment with her husband and her ex? And what if the latter was also accused of stealing and hiding an insane amount of money? Is the „first cut“ really the deepest, especially when it involves amounts numbering in millions?
Acting
Valiukaitė nails the exhausted wife caught between two disasters.
Production
Cozy Vilnius apartments make cramped chaos weirdly aspirational.
Director
Donatas Ulvydas
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
One of Lithuania's rare mainstream romantic comedies — the title's English translation loses the dry Baltic wit of the original.
Director Donatas Ulvydas pivoted to serious historical dramas after this; he apparently got the comedy out of his system.
