Watchlist:

Normandy, 1819. Jeanne 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, who soon reveals himself to be a miserly and unfaithful man. Little by little Jeanne’s illusions are stripped away.

Fans of thoughtful, character-driven dramas directed by Stéphane Brizé will appreciate the nuanced exploration of Jeanne's disillusionment with married life in 19th century Normandy, anchored by Judith Chemla's compelling performance.
