This foreign film is not to be missed, but watch the first movie, Jean de Florette first. And watch the subtitled version if you don't speak French.
In this film, a grown up Manon confronts the neighbors who destroyed her father and caused the pain, hardship and devastation wrought by her family's enemies when she was a child. Having lived as a mountain recluse for an unspecified period of years after the loss of her family farm and the death of her father, she is provoked to wreak vengeance, and with satisfaction, comes a surprising revelation about the history of her parentage.
