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.

A charmingly wry and melancholic look at how literature can color our perceptions of reality. It feels like a sophisticated, witty conversation about love, obsession, and the echoes of classic stories in everyday life.
