Gemma Bovery

Martin is a former Parisian bourgeois-bohemian, who has now become a baker in a village in Normandy. All that remains of his youthful ambitions are a powerful imagination and a vivid passion for great literature, especially for Gustave Flaubert. One day, an English couple moves in the house next door. They are called Gemma and Charles Bovery, almost like the heroes of Flaubert's book and their destiny seems to be also inspired by Flaubert's heroes. Martin becomes fascinated by this coincidence. Nonetheless pretty Gemma Bovery didn't read her classics, and fully intends to live her own life.
