They block up the spring and watch as their new neighbour tries to keep his crops watered from wells far afield through the hot summer. Though they see his desperate efforts are breaking his health and his wife and daughter's hearts, they think only of getting the water.Jean de Florette featuring Yves Montand and Gérard Depardieu is available for rent or purchase on Prime Video.
