Synopsis

The story takes place in a small village of Provence in the south of France, shortly after the First World War. Cesar Soubeyran and his nephew, Ugolin, are desperate to buy a neighbouring farm, whose owner they accidentally kill. In order to get the farm at a good price, they stop up the natural spring that provides water to the land. The farm is then inherited by Jean, a hunchbacked tax collector whose late mother, Florette, was once Cesar's girlfriend. Learning this news, Papet and Ugolin block up the spring with concrete. Although Jean valiantly tries to reap the harvests of his land, struggling to and from the well many miles away and trying a modern approach to agriculture based on his book knowledge, the hunchback, his wife and daughter are reduced to poverty and desperation by the lack of water, while Soubeyran and his nephew remain tight-lipped about the spring under Jean's land. In the end, Jean is killed in an accident as a result of an explosion he detonated to dig his own well after many attempts to find ways of supplying water to his land. However, his young daughter, Manon, has suspected that the Soubeyrans are responsible. The film ends as she discovers them opening up the water source that could have saved her family.
