Yves Montand (The Wages Of Fear) and Gerard Depardieu (Cyrano de Bergerac) star in Jean de Florette, a timeless tale of greed, survival and fate. Set amidst the rugged hills of Provence, this epic saga follows the heroic efforts of Jean Cadoret (Depardieu), who inherits a farm from his mother, Florette, and leaves his city job behind, hoping to create a "new Eden", with his wife and daughter. But, unbeknownst to Jean, his greedy neighbor, Cesar Soubeyran (Montand), is plotting to steal the land out from under him with a wicked scheme that drives Jean to the brink of madness! Ten years after her father’s death, Manon (Emmanuelle Beart, Un Coeur en Hiver) has no idea that her neighbor Cesar Soubeyran (Montand) cheated her out of her father’s land. But when Manon discovers that Soubeyran was directly responsible for her father’s death, she goes after him with a vengeance in this "epic [and] rousing tale of retribution", (Newsweek)! Daniel Auteuil (Cache, 36th Precinct) also stars.
