Life imitates art in uncanny ways when Gemma Bovery and her husband Charles move into an old farmhouse in Normandy...in the very same village where Flaubert’s classic novel 'Madame Bovary' was written a century earlier. Immediately entranced by the lovely Gemma, local baker and Flaubert enthusiast Martin Joubert quickly draws parallels between the literary character and her real-life counterpart.
