The hardworking well-digger Pascal Amoretti (Daniel Auteuil) is a
widower raising six daughters in rural France at the start of World War I.
Holding a special place in his heart is his eldest daughter, Patricia (Astrid Bergès-Frisbey), who returns home from school in Paris to help care for
her sisters. Patricia soon catches the eye of Jacques Mazel (Nicolas
Duvauchelle), a dashing fighter pilot and son of a
wealthy merchant. Their attraction quickly blossoms into something more and
when Jacques is suddenly called to war, Patricia is left alone to face the
consequences of their passion. Upon learning that he is about to become a
grandfather, Pascal is torn between defending the family honor and his love for
his daughter. Beautifully shot in the Provence countryside, THE WELL-DIGGER’S
DAUGHTER captures all the warmth and humanist spirit of Marcel Pagnol's
classic. (A Kino Lorber
Release/107 min./Not Rated/In French with English Subtitles)
