Albert Ostermaier, Gustave Flaubert

The beautiful Emma Bovary is bored with her country life and her marriage to the doctor Charles. With the realization that life has more to offer elsewhere, a lust for life awakens which neither a secret affair with the landowner Rodolphe nor a passionate liaison with the young Léon can quiet.
The dramatisation is based on the critically acclaimed new translation by Elisabeth Edl.
