Classic, acclaimed adaptation of Marcel Pagnol\'s novel, starring Yves Montand, Gerard Depardieu and Daniel Auteuil. In Provence in the 1930s, city-bred hunchback Jean brings his family to his mother\'s old farm with plans for an idyllic life on the land. However, his scheming neighbours, Le Papet and Ugoli, covet his farm\'s little-known water source, and the resulting feud escalates towards tragedy. The story continues in a second film, Manon des Sources.
