Summary and notes in English about Jean de Florette
The story takes place in a small village of Provence in Occitania, the south of France, shortly after the First World War. César Soubeyran - also known as Papet - and his nephew, Ugolin, are desperate to buy a neighbouring farm after hearing of the death of its owner, for its water source. The farm is then inherited by Jean, a hunchbacked tax collector from the city. Learning this news, César and Ugolin block up the spring with concrete to force Jean to sell his land. Although Jean valiantly tries to reap the harvests of his land, struggling to bring water from a well many miles away and trying a modern approach to agriculture based on his book knowledge, the hunchback, his wife, and daughter are reduced to poverty and desperation by the lack of water, while Soubeyran and his nephew remain tight-lipped about the spring under Jean's land. In the end, Jean is killed in an accident as a result of an explosion while attempting to dig his own well to supply water to his land. Jean's young daughter, Manon, has always been suspicious of the Soubeyrans. Her suspicions are proven right when, following her father's death, César and Ugolin finally buy the farm at a deep discount and force Jean's widow and young daughter (Manon) off of the land. The film ends as Manon discovers César and Ugolin opening up the water source that could have saved her family.

The sequel, Manon des Sources, tells the story of how Manon gets her revenge on César and Ugolin

Jean De Florette

Jean de Florette Love is one of the biggest parts in this movie, if not the biggest part. Jean de Florette to me is a love story, throughout the movie the talk of love was always present. Even the place it was set in is about love France; love is the first thing I think of when people talk about France. In this move almost every character has thoughts of love. Jean de Florette had the most passion for life in this movie. When he talked he showed so much
