The Grocer's Son

This touching coming of age drama from French writer and director Eric Guirado is about a young man who's forced to return to countryside to help his parents with their grocery business where he finally mends his relationship with his family while realizing that life there is not as bad as he thought. Guirado's roots as a documentary filmmaker are evident as he mixes real people with professional actors in this universal and timeless tale that at its core is about relationships. Stunning locations provide a great backdrop for this powerful film. Nicolas Cazalé is excellent as the lead with a great cast that includes the beautiful Clotilde Hesme.
