Drama
Marcel Pagnol's adaptation of his own novel Manon des sources, the story of a shepherdess who exacts her revenge on the townsfolk she blames for killing her father, in two parts: Manon des sources and Ugolin.
VIBE
A sun-drenched, yet somber, tale unfolds in rural Provence. It's a slow, deliberate immersion into a world of natural beauty and human folly, where simmering resentments slowly come to a boil.
