- Synopsis:
Biquefarre is a small farm in Aveyron. The changing economics of farming lead Raoul (Roger Malet), in late middle age, to decide to sell and move to Toulouse. At least two neighbouring farmers want to buy Biquefarre: Lucien (Marius Benaben) and the young Marcel (André Benaben). Behind the scenes, Henri (Henri Rouquier), whose brother is Marcel's father and who is also Lucien's brother-in-law, negotiates with Raoul so that Marcel's father can secretly sweeten Marcel's offer. Will dad and uncle succeed? In the background is the hard daily work of farming: milking cows, harvesting at night, and finding help when a farmer falls ill. Progress brings challenges: polluted water, factory farms, and skyrocketing land prices. - Actors:
