1926: In the French region of Landes, near Bordeaux, marriages are arranged to merge property and unite neighbouring families. Thus, young Therese Larroque becomes Madame Desqueyroux. However, her avant-garde ideas soon clash with local conventions and her domineering husband, and in order to break free from the fate imposed upon her she will resort to tragically extreme measures.
