The Grocer's son
It is summer,and thirty year old Antoine is forced to leave the city to return to his family in Provence.
His father is sick,so he must assume the lifestyle he thought he had shed-driving the family grocery van to sell produce to mostly elderly inhabitants. Accompanied by Claire ,a friend from Paris whom he has a secret crush on. Antoine gradually warms up to his experience in the country and his encounters with the villagers, who initially seem stubborn and gruff, but eventualy prove to be funny an endearing.
Ultimately, this surprise French box-office hit is about the coming-of-age of a man rediscovering life and love in the countryside.
