Synopsis
Madame Bovary is the story of a beautiful
young woman who marries a luckless and loutish country
doctor. She attempts to escape the narrow confines of
her life through a series of passionate affairs, hoping
to find in other men the romantic ideal she has always
dreamed about. Her recklessness comes back to haunt her,
however, and the strong-willed and independent Emma finds
herself in a desperate fight for existence.
