“The Principal Wife” is an impressive and moving demonstration of how to trace one's family history even if no one is willing to talk about it. At its centre is the 38-year-old painter Marijke van der Meulen, whose mother Aagje left her and the family to join a Christian sect when her daughter was eight.
