City-dweller Jean de Florette (Gerard Depardieu) moves his family to the Provence countryside in the 1920s to forge a new life as a flower farmer. But his proud, cocky neighbouring rival Le Papet (Yves Montand) schemes with his simple-minded nephew Ugolin (Daniel Auteuil) to acquire some nearby land ensuring the novice owner never discovers an all-important natural spring on the property. Exploring the formidable rural landscape, Jean de Florette captures one family's noble struggle against the forces of nature and the treachery of man. Claude Berri's stunning adaptation of Marcel Pagnol's acclaimed novel captured the hearts and imagination of audiences around the world upon it's initial release in 1986, winning numerous international awards and becoming one of the most popular foreign language films in history.
