Overview

Jean Florette (1986)

The first of two parts of the classic Marcel Pagnol story set in southeast France in the mid 1920s. In a small provencal village, where water is scarce and the earth dry, only one piece of property possesses an underground spring to irrigate the soil--and the wily, greedy Cèsar will do anything to get hold of it. His dreams seem on the verge of coming true when the owner (with a little help from Cèsar) dies unexpectedly. But then Jean Cadoret, an outsider who inherits the farm, arrives with the intention of settling down and cultivating the land with his good-hearted wife Aimee and young daughter Manon. Jean, a hunchback and sensitive dreamer, glories in his new life while Cèsar and his nephew Ugolin secretly decide to stop up the spring so his plans will fail. The good-hearted Jean, too naive to imagine that anyone would sabotage him, struggles fruitlessly to make his garden bloom. His continual failure erodes his spirit, setting the stage for a tragedy with consequences for all.
