This film, based on the humorous best-selling memoirs of French novelist and filmmaker Marcel Pagnol, highlights the alluring, magical country life of turn-of-the-century Provence. Young Marcel’s mother longs for the tranquility of Bastide Neuve after spending a summer holiday there and encourages her family to make the 9-mile trek on foot. They try to shorten the journey by cutting across a private estate, which lands them in a bit of trouble.
