If you loved La venganza de Manon, try El manantial de las colinas
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Claude Berri, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, gut punch, outsider mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to La venganza de Manon, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What El manantial de las colinas is
City mouse plots sabotage against a hunchbacked heir who inherits dirt. They dam the spring he needs to farm. His scrabbling for water withers his family while their joy grows fat on his ruin.
