My Mother's Castle tells the story of a family's memorable holiday in the French countryside, filled with nostalgia, longing, and the joy of discovering the beauty of Provence. Based on the novel by Marcel Pagnol, it follows the journey of a young boy and his family as they navigate the challenges and joys of life in a small French village. With stunning landscapes, charming characters, and a touch of romance, this film is a delightful exploration of love, family, and the power of memories.

This is the story of a wealthy bourgeois who marries his only child, a daughter, to a penniless nobleman because he hopes to use his son-in-law to get a title. The son-in-law is a lazy, affected stereotype; but M. Poirier is also a stereotype, of the obnoxious big businessman. The poor daughter, who falls in love with her husband, lets him walk all over her.

The works of Marcel Pagnol are a veritable monument of French cultural heritage. Based on previously unseen archive material, film extracts, novels, plays, interviews and letters, the film pays tribute to the major author and popular filmmaker, who made his life a work and his work a life's project.
