"Funny, sentimental, warm, perfectly realized and very moving." -Boxoffice
Based on the best-selling memoirs of French novelist/filmmaker Marcel Pagnol, this captivating recollection of a young boy's life in turn of the century South of France is an intelligent, emotionally realistic account of a more idyllic time. A glorious celebration of family, this is one of the "most beguiling films since charm went out of fashion" (Time)!
Among the intoxicating hills of rustic Bastide Neuve, young Marcel and his family experience an unforgettable summer holiday. Marcel, mystified by nature, eagerly turns to his father, Joseph, for an education on the ways of the wild. But Joseph comes up short in Marcel's eyes when cantankerous Uncle Jules- an experienced woodsman- proves to be far more knowledgeable. To redeem himself, Joseph challenges Jules to a hunting match to prove once and for all that he is not only the patriarch, but a father who deserves respect.
