The Source in Provence.
Marcel Pagnol is to the French what Morten Korch is to the Danes. The Source in Provence is his greatest work ever and is set in 1920s Provence with its breathtaking landscape.
Here, the hunchbacked Jean De Florette arrives from the city to create a new paradise for himself with his wife and their little daughter. But the city's great landlord, Papet, plans to steal the field from him. By secretly tapping from the spring that runs by Jean's farm, Jean is forced to walk several kilometers to fetch water.
At the same time that the plants wither in the hot summer, Jean is driven closer to the abyss of madness and destruction. This is the story of the little man against the big man, of good against evil, of life against death - in a story so powerful, beautiful and gripping that it leaves no one untouched.
Also remember the sequel, Manon des Sources (Manon and the Source).
