With only dreams to hold onto, the monotony of life as the wife of a country doctor brings on a serious bout of melancholia, prompting Charles to have a change in environment. The move to a new practice in the town of Yonville coincides with Emma falling pregnant. Unfortunately, it is not far enough to shake off Emma s interfering and acerbic mother-in-law with her constant barrage of criticism. This exchange of surroundings would have served little purpose were it not for the presence in Yonville of Leon, a young Law student, and now the only person in her life with any vision or aspirations beyond the microcosm of small-town life. Their companionship begins to change form and they become completely obsessed with the self-torture of an impossible love. Leon is deeply wounded to discover that Emma has been concealing her pregnancy, but the rift is healed after the birth of Berthe. watch
