My Father's Glory is a movie based on the memoir of Marcel Pagnol. It follows the story of a young boy growing up in the countryside of Provence in the late 19th century. The film explores the beauty of nature, family relationships, and childhood memories. It showcases the adventures and experiences of the protagonist, providing a heartwarming and nostalgic journey.

The last episode of Pagnol's memories (see also "La Gloire de Mon Père" "le Château de Ma Mère" and "Le Temps des secrets") deals with the teenage years of Marcel. While always spending his Summers in his dear Garrigue, he is now on the way to the Baccalaureat. He 's got a good pal Lagneau (The Lamb) who of course infuriates the teachers when he "bleats"...

The story takes us from the dear Garrigue to the secondary school where Marcel is first ill at ease because he is a scholarship holder and because he went to the grade school (the other bourgeois pupils had probably a private tutor). A fight against a rich kid ,that augurs badly for what is to follow. (to be followed in "Le Temps des Amours" )
