Storyline

The film will tell the story of Jeanne du Perthuis des Vauds’ life between the ages of 18 and 45 in the early 19th century: it is the story of a hypersensitive woman, overly sheltered and in search of the absolute, who is unable to face up to the harsh reality of the world, a story of unconquerable mourning for the lost paradise of childhood…

A woman hypersensitive, too protected and search of the absolute, incapable of facing the brutal reality of the world ... Adultery, money, crime, education, marriage, religion, children, family, female, human evil, love and death are the main themes.
