MADAME BOVARY

1857. "Ms Bovary" is on trial for "outrage to public morality and religion". Prosecution and defence confront one another. Between them, Flaubert. It's his trial. The defence takes the stand, the novel takes life. Emma's story unfolds before our eyes with the debate on women's rights running between every line.
