My Mother's Castle
Return to childhood in Provence.
Directed by Yves Robert
Produced by Gaumont, TF1 Films Production
A nostalgic, warmly affectionate coming-of-age story set in Provence that celebrates childhood adventure, family bonds, and the longing to return to an idyllic past.
To his chagrin, young Marcel Pagnol and his family move back to their home in Marseille, France, far from their pastoral holiday cottage in the hills. Determined, Marcel makes the long voyage back to the cottage on foot and lands himself in trouble. One day Marcel's father discovers a shortcut to the cottage, but it requires trespassing. Despite their trepidations, Marcel and his family begin using the secret trail to reach their cottage.
