Synopsis
In the 19th century, the daughter of a Norman peasant, Emma Bovary was brought up in an elegant convent before marrying a health officer. Nourished by romantic readings, she aspires to romantic loves and a life of luxury that neither her husband nor the dull and pontificating bourgeoisie of the city bring her. She becomes the mistress of a local squire who abandons her, then of a notary's clerk, as well as the prey of an unscrupulous cloth merchant.
