Manon des Sources (1986) Marjan TBS

Roaming the rich valleys and the verdurous pastures of 1930s Provence, proud shepherdess, Manon, the beautiful eighteen-year-old daughter of late Jean Cadoret, is still reeling from the sudden death of her father. Unable to come to terms with the irreparable injustice, ten painful years after the events of Jean de Florette (1986), unsuspecting, golden-haired Manon catches the eye of the repulsive, prosperous flower cultivator, Ugolin, who, without an ounce of shame, summons up the courage to declare his love for her. However, the once-fertile soil of the wronged Romarins has a memory, and more than anything in the world, Manon thirsts for revenge. They say the sins of the fathers are visited upon the children. How many more must suffer for Ugolin's blood-red carnations?
