Movie description:
Every holiday Marcel and his family go to their cottage in the Provence (France). He likes the hills in this region. Before they arrive at the cottage they have to walk about 5 miles. With the co-operation of an ex-pupil of Marcels father, who’s a teacher, they only have to walk 1 mile, since they can take a shortcut along a canal, through the backyards of some excentric people. During one of these holidays he meets Isabelle, a pretty but conceited girl.
Continuing on from the first film, Gloire de mon Pere, this follows Marcel as the family returns every holiday to their beloved villa. Still wonderfully filmed and acted. This is a must see set.
