"Summer in Provence" is a French comedy film, one of the protagonists is the killer in "This Killer is not too cold" - Ray Arno, but here he becomes an old man with cold outside and hot inside. The story is about an experience between the grandson and the grandfather during the summer vacation.
Adrian, Rhea, and Theo's parents had just divorced, their mother was going to another city for an internship, their father ignored them, and the three underage children were left unattended, so they were taken to Provence by their grandmother.
Theo grew up with his father and his mother for a week, accustomed to a wandering life, but for his brothers and sisters, it was very uncomfortable to leave the bustling Paris and spend a summer vacation in the countryside.
They didn't like it here, and Grandpa Paul didn't welcome them.
Because the daughter eloped with someone at their age and never contacted him again. Now suddenly there are three more grandchildren, and he wants him to help her feed, just think about it.
Wife Elena said that the daughter's fault has nothing to do with the children, don't spill your anger on them, and get ready to get along with the children.
Paul and Elena prepared a sumptuous lunch—eggplant stew for their grandchildren—but Rhea was a vegetarian, Adrian didn't eat garlic, and Theo was afraid of killing critters, so the meal broke up.
Seeing Adrian surfing with the computer all day, Rhea has been sleeping, he first told Adrian that if he did not use the Internet, he would get sick, and then let his dog go upstairs to "harass" Rhea, so that she could not sleep.
A breathless Rhea went downstairs and reluctantly leaned on the threshold to smoke, and Paul gasped again, saying, "No smoking in the summer, not in my house."
Adrian said: "I know it's at your house.
Paul said: What are you trying to say?
Adrian said: "We know we are not welcome.
Rhea said: Do you think we would like to come to this wild place?
Paul said: Is it your mother who said that about me?
Adrian said: "No, our family never mentioned you.
Paul said: I've been here for 24 hours, and you don't respect me at all!
Adrian said: Respect is earned!
Paul was furious and wanted to send them away, and the siblings, unwilling to stay here any longer, called their mother. Mom said that she was the one who took the initiative to break off contact with her, and she didn't blame her father, and asked them both to apologize to Grandpa and continue to stay here.
The two brothers and sisters had no choice but to stay here.
Soon, they found a place to have fun.
At the bazaar, Rhea fell in love with Diego, a handsome pizza seller, and Adrian was first messed with flowers and grass, and then charmed by margary, a sexy beauty who sold ice cream.
On the second date, Rhea and Diego hug each other in full view of everyone, Diego also invites Rhea to drink, and Paul, who sees this scene, rushes over and pulls Rhea home.
Reya cried and told her grandmother that she hated Grandpa, that she had just become happy, and that he had upset her again.
Grandma comforted him that he was just protecting you, after all, you and the boy had just met, and you weren't sure if he was your crush.
Under the cover of her grandmother, Rhea and Diego went out on a date again, and the two had a good time, and Rhea was deeply infatuated with Diego.
Adrian secretly registered a social account for him on the Internet, originally wanted to make him happy, did not expect that grandpa's friends when he was young really paid attention to him, and everyone gave him a surprise: a group of people drove motorcycles, carried guitars, wore hippie clothes, and found Grandpa's home as they did when they traveled on the road.
They get together to reminisce about the madness of their youth, when they went to music festivals, sold sheepskins, played rock 'n' roll, fell in love with different people... Only later, the death of Paul's brother Manu caused Paul a lot of harm, and he stopped traveling around and chose to make his home in Provence, where he lived for twenty years.
After a group of people left, Paul took Adrian to the olive garden to weed, Adrian felt that it was a very painful thing to weed the trees, but Paul said that he liked to weed the trees, he loved every tree here, they were sick, he would take care of them, just like taking care of his children. He said to Adrian, you know what? By September, you'll be the new owner of the house and you'll have to be strong.
Adrian threw himself into his grandfather's arms and accepted the fact that his parents were divorced, but his life was still boring. Paul saw it in his eyes, so he decided to ask Adrian to help him get rid of his years of alcoholism, and he took him to do virtual sports and mountain bikes together, so that Adrian could find the joy of life again.
One night at a market party, Rhea and Diego were dancing in close proximity, Reya was dressed very revealingly, and Diego deliberately approached Rhea from time to time.
Paul couldn't take it anymore, went over and reprimanded Rhea, saw what you were wearing, and hurried home to change his clothes! Rhea didn't listen, and had a big fight with him, saying that you made us embarrassed, you made us feel embarrassed every day, you can't stand up, you drunkard!
Paul slapped Rhea. Rhea eloped with Diego.
Thinking that his daughter had also eloped with others in this way, Paul himself was worried, and heard his friend say that Diego was just selling pizza as a pretext, but in fact he was a psychedelic drug seller.
Paul rode a motorcycle that he hadn't ridden for years and, guided by Adrian's cell phone navigation, saved Rhea back.
After waking up, Rhea thinks that Diego doesn't want him, saying that love is unreliable and will only exist among your elders.
Paul says that love at first sight is a lie. Your grandmother and I met because we were at my brother's funeral together, and she loved my brother at the time, and we fell in love with each other, so that her thoughts of him continued. Later we realized that we were truly in love. Love may take a detour, but you have to believe it. Life is always more colorful than we think. Rhea shook Grandpa's hand, and the two reconciled.
It was a special experience. Rhea and Adrian, as well as Grandpa Paul, were unhappy with the encounter, but at the end of the story, Paul told Theo that this was the happiest summer I had ever had.
A lot of times, we have preconceived notions about something, someone. Poor country, no pool, no air conditioning, no internet... This is the prejudice of the two brothers and sisters, but after coming here, they found that the country life is colorful, everyone can get together every week to party, they can often watch bullfighting competitions, there are scenery everywhere, and people get along with each other more closely than in big cities. There is no longer the coldness of the big city, but a leisurely life.
And Grandpa Paul also found that modern technology can allow him to find old friends he has not seen for many years, can let him experience various sports methods without leaving home, and can also use GPS to rescue others... Most importantly, this encounter with a bad start allowed them to gain something from each other. Rhea experienced her first love, Adrian found the joy of life, Theo had more companionship, and Paul gained three grandsons who loved him and reconciled with his daughter.
All experiences are growth, so don't be afraid of the unknown, don't preconceived not prejudice against something, it may not be as bad as we think, the key is to use a positive mindset to meet change.
