To Take a Wife (VeLakahta Lekha Isha; French: Prendre femme) is a 2004 drama film.
It is the directorial debut of veteran actress Ronit Elkabetz, who also stars in the film and was nominated for an Ophir Award for her performance.
The film, a joint Israeli-French production, marks the debut of both directors and serves as a kind of shared autobiography.
In Haifa in 1979, hairdresser Viviane Amsalem listens to her brothers as they argue her out of asking her husband for a divorce and convince her to go back to him.
The film was loosely based on the marriage of co-directors Ronit and Shlomi Elkabetz's parents.
