Devil in the Flesh

Set in France during World War I, the story follows Marthe as she awaits her husband Jacques, who is fighting on the front lines. She begins a passionate affair with 17-year-old François, with whom she had a dalliance before marrying Jacques. François's jealousy over her marriage clashes with Marthe's efforts to prove her devotion to her young, hotheaded lover, and matters grow more complex when she becomes pregnant with Jacques's baby.
