Synopsis
Martin, an ex-Parisian well-heeled hipster passionate about Gustave Flaubert who settled into a village in the Norman as a baker, sees an English couple moving into a small farm nearby. Not only are the names of the new arrivals Gemma and Charles Bovery, but their behavior also seems to be inspired by Flaubert's heroes. Martin engages with the young couple and observes Gemma's behaviour to drift perilously into the fatalities that ruined Madame Bovary's life. He tries to interfere but sees fate develop.
