Mažas miestelis Normandijoje. Septynerius metus čia ramiai gyvenusio duonos kepėjo kaimynystėje apsistoja iš Didžiosios Britanijos atvykusi pora. Garbingo amžiaus Martenas jau senokai nesidairė į svetimas moteris, bet dieviškai graži Džema gundo vyrą. Jis greitai pastebi, kad jaunoji dama nuobodžiauja, tad pasiūlo privačias kepimo pamokas. Žinoma, taip jis nori suvilioti kaimynę. Marteno lūkesčiai dūžta į šipulius, kai Džema užmezga romaną su jaunu aristokratu. Martenui nebelieka nieko kito, tik slapčia stebėti kaimynės gyvenimą, kuris jam – visai kaip Gustave’o Flaubert’o ponios Bovari. Gyvenimo džiaugsmą patirti trokštanti Džema akivaizdžiai neskaitė romano, bet elgiasi visiškai kaip romano herojė. Kadaise pats priklausęs Paryžiaus bohemai, Martenas dabar užsibrėžia tikslą išgelbėti kaimynų šeimą nuo įmanomos tragiškos lemties.

A narrator reads this email, but we don't know which of the two women the voice belongs to, whether to the sender or to the receiver of the message. Neither are we aware of the details of this relationship; but what we do know is that, in addition to their interest in art, they share a concern for the difficulties of carrying out their personal and professional lives in the present.
