A Woman's Life
A melancholic period drama tracing one woman's gradual disillusionment as marriage and life strip away her youthful innocence in 19th-century Normandy.
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.
