Synopsis

Spoiler shield

A television musical based on the short stories by Guy de Maupassant — "Boule de Suif", "Mademoiselle Fifi", and "A Peasant Girl's Story" — simple yet infinitely complex works that remain deeply relevant and true to life, despite being written in the 19th century. Themes of love and betrayal, the search for one's place in life, loneliness, pride, morality and immorality...

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
