Jean de Florette/Manon of the Spring (France/Italy/Switzerland: Claude Berri, 1986)
I just saw this movie, so touching, amazing !!! I give this movie 5 stars.... Great inspiration to take a look at your life and focus on the value of life...and be careful of what you do...
*** I'm thinking of coming up with a collection base on the out fits the girl is wearing in this movie...So earthy, organic, and this is the new way "SEXY" should be .... (in my vision)...

In a rural French village an old man and his only remaining relative cast their covetous eyes on an adjoining vacant property. They need its spring water for growing their flowers, so are dismayed to hear the man who has inherited it is moving in. They block up the spring and watch as their new neighbour tries to keep his crops watered from wells far afield through the hot summer. Though they see his desperate efforts are breaking his health and his wife and daughter's hearts they think only of getting the water. Written by Jeremy Perkins.
In this, the sequel to Jean de Florette, Manon (Beart) has grown into a beautiful young shepherdess living in the idyllic Provencal countryside. She determines to take revenge upon the men responsible for the death of her father in the first film.
In a rural French village an old man and his only remaining relative are successful flower growers using water from a spring on an adjoining property they now own. The grown-up daughter of the previous owner still lives in the hills as a goatherd and comes to realize that not only these two but the whole village knew of the existence of the spring when her father was desperately trying to water his crops. An accident with one of the goats leads her by chance to the source of the spring and the possibility of a terrible revenge.
