Truffaut should have made an adaptation to Madame Bovary's cinema! Starting from this premise, Cendre Chassanne offers to write the script for the film and embarks on the very creation of the show.

Through the chaotic journey of a woman who departs from dominant morality, Flaubert observes and pinpoints society, its disorders, its limits and raises the question of emancipation. From the adolescence of Charles and Emma to the sacrificed childhood of their daughter Berthe, Cendre Chassanne crosses the novel, reinvents and summons an Emma Bovary of today.

Sharing her doubts and her obsessions with Flaubert and Truffaut, to whom she makes tasty phone calls, she stubbornly seeks a prospect for future generations. This resolutely contemporary staging skillfully intertwines romance, video and music to give Madame Bovary a sparkling feminism.
