France in the late 1920s. Thérèse is coerced into a marriage with her neighbour, Bernard Desqueyroux, who owns a large rural estate in the Landes region of France. Whilst Thérèse is at first fascinated by her husband, a likeable, free-thinking man, she soon grows bored with her life in the country. She longs to escape to the city and the distractions it offers. One day, Bernard is poisoned by arsenic and Thérèse is arrested for attempted murder. To avoid a scandal, Bernard's family has no choice but to come to her aid... (official distributor synopsis)
