Madame Bovary
Emma Bovary is dying of boredom in her small French town, married to a kind but dull doctor who can’t ignite the passion she craves. She loses herself in novels, dreaming of grand love affairs and glittering society balls, until fantasy begins to bleed into reality through reckless affairs and ruinous spending. As her desperate hunt for beauty and meaning spirals beyond control, Emma discovers that some hungers can never be satisfied—and that the price of living entirely for desire might be everything she holds dear. What happens when a woman refuses to accept the life she’s been given and reaches for something that may not exist at all?
