Emma has married Charles Bovary, a doctor, and the married couple live in a small village in Normandy. But the young woman is bored. She cannot stand the monotony of her life or the mediocrity of her husband. She dreams of a cultured life in Paris, so the husband and wife move to a larger city in Normandy. But Emma is still bored, and eventually abandons herself to the throes of passion.
