An intriguing story of the struggle of everyday life
Jean de Florette is a creative portrayal of life in southern France, many years ago. The plot revolves around two men in search of water for their farm. Alas, they have none on their property; the nearest spring is on the neighbor's land. Thus, the two connive to get the owner to sell the property, but it doesn't work. This is the story of their struggle - and their neighbors. Great acting, and surprising plot. One must see the sequel, it completes the story and adds to the over-all effect.
