Nineteenth century France... Emma Bovary has everything she dreamed of; an adoring husband, a healthy daughter and an attractive, well-appointed home. Yet, she is still unhappy. She resents her husband Charles, finding him pedantic and dull. She has little time for her daughter and motherly instincts seem to have abandoned her. What worldly goods she has never seem to be enough.

Seeking fulfillment, she takes lovers who always seem to fail her in the end. She mistakes passion for love and never fails to be disappointed when that love turns out to be fleeting, blind to that love that exists under her very own roof. Will her desperation for something greater lead to redemption... or tragedy?

Claude Charbol's classic adaption of Gustave Flaubert's timeless romantic drama stars Isabelle Huppert (I Heart Huckabees), and Jean-Francois Balmer (T'aime).
