A Widow's Game ending explained
Before we dive into how the film ends, let's have a little backgrounder.
So, the woman Maje referred to as the widow in the movie tries desperately to cover up what she did. What she did was, along with her lover Salva, plan the murder of her husband. But it isn't that simple. The woman who kept spinning stories was, in fact, living a double life herself, involved in multiple affairs while still married. With each new affair, she managed to invent new lies to maintain her facade. Now that you know a bit of the background, let's take a look at how the movie ended.
Why did Maje want to kill her husband?
Well, Maje and her husband were two very different people. While Arturo was a family man, Maje wanted more from life. Let's just say she craved excitement and thrill, and being with Arturo didn't fulfill her in any way. That's why she went on to have multiple affairs and eventually planned to kill her husband with her lover, Salva.
How were Maje and Salva caught?
The investigators had been tapping Maje and Salva's phones for a while, and they eventually recorded conversations that confirmed their suspicions. The police also planted a microphone inside a tissue box during one of Maje and Salva's meetings, which further proved their guilt.
Both were arrested, and as previously agreed, Maje denied any involvement in the murder while Salva took full responsibility. However, Salva later revealed that Maje had manipulated him into committing the crime. As a result, Maje was sentenced to 22 years in prison, while Salva received 17 years.
