Madame X

Synopsis

Cast out by her unforgiving husband after a moment of indiscretion, Jacqueline Floriot loses everything - her home, her reputation, and most devastatingly, her young son. Twenty years of degradation follow as she spirals into a world of poverty, absinthe, and desperation, ultimately becoming the mistress of a vicious blackmailer. When her tormentor threatens to destroy her son's promising legal career by exposing her shameful past, a mother's fierce love drives her to murder. Now standing trial for her life, she faces the ultimate cruel irony: the brilliant young lawyer assigned to defend her is the very son she sacrificed everything to protect, yet he has no idea that the broken woman before him is his own mother.
