Raised by his science teacher father, Joseph Pagnol, and seamstress mother Augustine, young Marcel grows up during the turn of the century in awe of his rationalist dad. When the family takes a summer vacation in the countryside, Marcel becomes friends with Lili, who teaches him about rural life.

A young boy’s devotion to his father’s scientific logic clashes beautifully with the untamed, sun-drenched secrets of the Provençal countryside. This gentle coming-of-age tale finds its soul in a blossoming friendship between a city student and a local boy.
