Manon of the Spring

A timid yet stunning shepherdess seeks retribution against the men responsible for her father's demise, driven by a burning desire to avenge the loss of their family's land.

In the wake of Jean Cadoret's passing, his opera-singing wife returns to her former life, while their daughter Manon matures into a stunning and isolated shepherdess. Ugolin, now a wealthy and eligible bachelor in his thirties, focuses on cultivating his carnation fields. However, his grandfather Cesar Soubeyran urges him to marry to preserve their family's legacy, as he is the last male heir. Ugolin's eyes are soon opened to the beauty of Manon, and he becomes smitten. But when Manon concocts a plan for revenge against Ugolin and Cesar, the entire town is plunged into despair.
