The Minister's Wife is a satirical comedy about the Popović family, whose lives are transformed when a sudden political promotion thrusts them into the world of power, protocol, and social prestige. Živka, once an ordinary housewife, becomes intoxicated by her husband’s new position and begins imitating fashionable high society, pursuing family advantages, interfering in her daughter’s future, and creating one absurd situation after another. Her relentless ambition sets off a chain of misunderstandings that reaches its climax when the newspapers publish a mocking article about the family. When her husband ultimately loses his position, Živka’s illusions collapse, forcing her to confront reality and the consequences of her own vanity.
