The first of Claude Berri's internationally acclaimed adaptations of Marcel Pagnol's novels, Jean de Florette stands as a rousing meditation on greed and the cruelty borne of it. César (Yves Montand) and his nephew Ugolin (Daniel Auteuil) eye an abandoned property with a bounteous spring. When the new owner (Gerard Depardieu) refuses to sell the land, the duo are forced to take more extreme measures.
