| Summary |
Gruff, sentimental César owns a waterfront bar in the old port of Marseille, where his son, Marius, wipes down tables and dreams of a life at sea. The prosperous, middle-aged sailmaker Panisse, wanting to wed Marius's sweetheart, Fanny, sets up a generation-spanning romantic triangle, the story of which unfolds in a series of fateful twists in the films, which first earned Pagnol his place in cinema history. Includes making and restoration of the films, documentaries, interviews, and more. |
