Storyline
| Plot Summary |
More than anything in the world, Manon, a proud, solitary shepherdess of verdant Provence, wants to avenge her father's untimely and unjust death. With this in mind, Manon, bent on taking her revenge on the ruthless, calculative landowner, Papet, and his love-smitten but equally guilty nephew, Ugolin, concocts an audacious plan to deprive the unsuspecting inhabitants of the nearby village of fresh, drinking water. However, now that Manon has secretly diverted the life-giving source which supplies water to the communal fountain, before long, this grave situation loosens the tongues of those who have chosen to remain silent all these years. Are they prepared for the shocking truth? Written by Nick Riganas |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Upon realizing that his initial cut was over four hours long, Marcel Pagnol decided to split the film into two. However distributor Gaumont was against the idea and Pagnol eventually conceded, leading the film to be released theatrically with a running time of around two hours, which Pagnol was very dissatisfied with. In March 1968, French TV presented a restoration of the original four hour version of the film, which is the way the film is exclusively seen now, usually split into two parts titled "Manon des Sources" and "Ugolin", as per Pagnol's original wishes.
