Described as an “unconventional, twisted romance”, the story follows Colman’s character — a smelly, single fisherwoman constantly mocked by her seaside village. Tired of the ridicule, she commissions the local basketmaker to create a husband entirely out of wicker. Their bizarre relationship soon ignites outrage, jealousy, and upheaval among the townspeople.
Wicker is produced and financed by Topic Studios and Tango, alongside Colman, Ed Sinclair, and Tom Carver of South of the River; David Michôd and Brad Zimmerman for Yoki, Inc.; and Justin Lothrop and Brent Stiefel of Votiv, who initiated and funded the project’s development, as well as Andrea Cornwell and Oliver Kassman.
