1926: In the French region of Landes, near Bordeaux, marriages are arranged to merge property and unite neighbouring families. Thus, young Therese Larroque becomes Madame Desqueyroux. However, her avant-garde ideas soon clash with local conventions and her domineering husband, and in order to break free from the fate imposed upon her she will resort to tragically extreme measures.

Starring AUDREY TAUTOU (Amelie, Coco Before Chanel, Delicacy) and Gilles Lellouche (Point Blank, Little White Lies).
