Jean de Florette Plot and Cast
An old man and his only remaining relative in a rural French village set their sights on an adjoining vacant property because they need its spring water for their flowers. They are dismayed to learn the man who inherited it is moving in, so they block up the spring and watch as the new neighbor struggles to water his crops from distant wells through the hot summer. Despite seeing his efforts destroy his health and break his wife and daughter's hearts, they think only of getting the water.
