In the middle of the 17th century, the Marquise de Sévigné wanted to make her daughter a brilliant and independent woman in her own image. But the more she tries to control the young woman's destiny, the more she alienates her. Mother and daughter then experience the throes of a singular and devastating passion. A major work of French literature is born from this devastation.

"Based on a historic account rendered in letters between mother and daughter, Madame de Sevigne is known to us through these letters, which express an obsessive relationship and an over bearing mother who alienates her daughter. The daughter seeks a marital relationship, while the mother desires her daughter to live estranged from her husband. The drama is speculative, and somewhat interesting."
