| Opplysninger | 43 år gamle Mary har et vakkert ansikt, men en stor kropp på 142 kilo. Kvelden de skal feire 25 års bryllupsdag kommer ikke mannen hjem. Han har fått nok. Mary reiser til svigermor i California for å lete etter ektemannen. Her møter hun bassenggutten Jesus Garcia og en taxisjåfør fra Israel. Etter hvert går det opp for henne hvordan hun skal ta livet tilbake. - On the eve of her wedding anniversary, Mary Gooch is waiting for her husband to come home, listening for his car along the dark, icy roads. As the night draws on, and he fails to appear, Mary reflects on the true nature of their marriage: the secrets, the silences, and the unmentionable yet inescapable fact that for each loss and disappointment, there has been a corresponding physical gain: the woman she once was is now imprisoned in mountainous flesh. The Wife's Tale is the inspirational story of the journey Mary is finally forced to make across a continent, ostensibly in search of her husband, but eventually towards the self she has buried for too long
