Au nom de la tradition

In a world where women’s life choices have never been more diverse, the phenomenon of “traditional wives” (Trad Wives) is sparking both fascination and controversy. These women, who describe themselves as deliberately choosing a traditional lifestyle, embrace a strict division of gender roles: the man as provider, the woman as homemaker. On social media, where the hashtag #tradwife has accumulated hundreds of millions of views, they share their daily lives through carefully curated videos that celebrate domestic life and traditional values.

This documentary offers an in-depth look into this growing movement, particularly popular among millennials and Gen Z. Through intimate testimonies and expert analysis, it explores the deeper motivations of these women—often educated and from progressive backgrounds—who have chosen to reconnect with a traditional family model.
