Set in the 1920s The Story of My Wife follows the gallant Captain Jakob Störr, who bets an associate that he will marry the first woman who enters the café they’re sitting in. Destined to converge with Störr’s life, in walks Lizzy, and the rest, as they say, is written in the stars. While new possibilities beyond the horizon call his name, the bewildered captain is in knots with suspicions of Lizzy’s infidelities and her clear-as-day attraction to the scoundrel Dedin clouds his every move.
