An adventurous young 19th-century noblewoman is harshly judged for an unfortunate marriage in this Venice prize-winning period drama.
Normandy, 1819. Jeanne (Judith Chemla) is a young woman full of childish dreams and innocence when she returns home after finishing her schooling in a convent. She marries a local Viscount, Julien de Lamare (Swann Arlaud), who soon reveals himself to be a miserly and unfaithful man. Little by little, Jeanne's illusions are stripped away.
