De felle en sensuele Emma Bovary is verveeld door de beperkte en saaie aard van het provinciale leven in het 19e-eeuwse Frankrijk en komt terecht in rampzalige schulden en streeft met absolute overgave schandalige seksuele relaties na. Wanneer haar vluchtige levensstijl haar echter inhaalt, komen de levens van iedereen om haar heen in gevaar.
Nee, helaas is Madame Bovary nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
