Overview

Martin, an ex-Parisian well-heeled hipster passionate about Gustave Flaubert who settled into a Norman village as a baker, sees an English couple moving into a small farm nearby. Not only are the names of the new arrivals Gemma and Charles Bovery, but their behavior also seems to be inspired by Flaubert's heroes.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A clever literary conceit unfolds with gentle irony as a Flaubert-obsessed baker watches his literary fixations play out in real life. It's a bittersweet meditation on whether life imitates art, or we simply see what we want to see.
