The scenery outside the window is constantly changing with the full running of the train. The sweet sleeping face of the little boy is reflected in the eyes of the glass, and the sun is shining warmly on the world, which makes people very comfortable. The comfort is like touching a piece of velvet, soft and soft. Peace of mind.
In the eyes of the deaf boy, the grandmother and the older brothers and sisters sitting across from him were just talking with their mouths open. But their expressions were hurried and helpless, and it was obvious that they were arguing.
The center of their argument is their grandfather, Paul, and they're going to spend a summer vacation in Provence.
But my grandfather didn't know about it. For 17 years, because of the discord with his mother, my grandfather never appeared in their past life once.
It can be imagined that meeting in such an embarrassing situation is a very unpleasant thing.
But now that's it, no one has a choice, so the story begins in that red vehicle speeding across the vast plains.
Grandpa Paul has a quirky temper. He is old-fashioned and conservative, and his grandchildren do not understand.
They don't understand why the gentle and kind grandmother married him and lived with him for nearly forty years, why there is no organic fertilizer in this remote village and town, and why the people here are so rude.
In this incomprehension, the granddaughter met the pizza owner, the grandson met the charming ice cream shop owner, and the little boy met a different grandfather.
After a short time together, the granddaughter identified the male owner of the pizza shop; the grandson met two different girls, who were young and energetic, completely different from the owner of the ice cream shop; the little boy saw the chicken feeder outside the chicken coop. Grandpa, grandpa let him touch the rabbit he raised, let him touch the water and fruit in the countryside.
The little boy was curious about everything his grandfather brought him. He chose his grandfather when he was watching the running of the bulls competition. At this moment, the touching tears came as scheduled. The boy's little hands held the grandpa's rough pair. The big hand also softened the hard shell of my grandfather.
The cool grandfather has a cool past. The days when he used his sword to travel the world made a group of old urchins sing freely in the pergola under the moon. The hot summer disappears at this moment. The song of forever young is not really forever young. , but to tell everyone that no matter when the journey of the heart cannot stop.
Riding a motorcycle, carrying a guitar, dating a partner, watching the sunset, watching that day always retains people's yearning, watching that life will always have a fiery temperature. They laughed, sang, cried, danced, and remained silent. When they saw that scene, they would feel that they were not reminiscing about their youth, but that they were youth themselves.
Maybe when it comes to Provence, the first reaction is mostly lavender, but the film does not leave the slightest chance for lavender to come forward, which is good.
Perhaps in the director's mind, the most memorable thing in Provence is the leisurely days, the sunrise and sunset that can be seen, the time when people can stop and say hello, and the olive trees planted by grandfather.
Standing under the olive tree he planted, Paul told his grandson that most plants are pollinated by bees, but in Provence it is the northwesterly wind.
The northwest wind brought not only the seeds of the olive tree, but also Paul's deep love for his daughter, the most common and understandable kind of father's love for his daughter.
In the end, in the summer in Provence, all people were more or less cured, the granddaughter ended a first love that may be unforgettable or not beautiful, the grandson learned the story of his grandfather and gradually matured, Paul and his lover were more in love with each other. Take good care of each other.
In the end, the daughter who took the initiative to cut off the relationship for 17 years stood in front of Paul. They didn't have the vulgar embrace of the long-awaited reunion, and they didn't have too many sensational words. They just faced each other and spoke calmly, revealing their love for each other in the murmuring words. of concern.
Fortunately, Paul invited his daughter home, and the daughter did not seem to have any intention of rejecting it.
