Set on the French Riviera, 'Madame Parisse' tells the story of an aristocratic woman, trapped in an unhappy marriage. When her husband goes on a business trip for four days, she embarks on an affair with the dashing Monsieur Jean de Carmelin. However, neither of them can foresee the consequences of their illicit encounter. Told from an observer's point of view, this is a wistful, tragic, and romantic tale, packed with yearning and criticism of the social conventions of the time. A good, old-fashioned tear-jerker, ´Madame Parisse´ will delight anyone already familiar with Guy de Maupassant's body of work.-
