The movie Wicker, based on the short story 'The Wicker Husband' by Ursula Wills-Jones, tells the story of a Fisherwoman who seeks love and independence in a town with rigid societal expectations. She commissions a wicker husband from a basketmaker, leading to a series of events that challenge the town's traditions and beliefs. The film concludes with the Fisherwoman setting her wicker husband on fire, and the wicker baby remaining a baby forever, possibly with future upgrades from the basketmaker.
The Wicker Husband's devotion to the Fisherwoman causes envy and anxiety among the townsfolk, leading to tragic consequences. The Tailor's Wife, in particular, resents the Fisherwoman's autonomy and attempts to replace her. The film ends with the basketmaker auctioning off a Wicker Wife to the highest bidder, leaving the Tailor's Wife rejected by her husband.
