Bourgeois family drama starring Audrey Tautou as the eponymous anti-heroine.

Fed up with her limited bourgeois life, Therese longs to move to Paris where a more liberated and decadent lifestyle awaits in contrast to the intellectually stifling one she has at present.

Taking drastic measures to ensure her escape, she attempts to poison her husband by increasing his medication, only to be caught and then forced to live in isolation on the estate to protect the family's name and reputation...
