What a lovely morning, spent making holiday decorations whilst watching The Grocer's Son, the award-winning independent film directed by Eric Guirado, starring Nicolas Cazale as Antoine, a young man returning reluctantly to his family in the French countryside of Provence, to help out with the family grocer business when his father's taken ill. (See http://www.filmmovement.com/ for more award-winning independent and foreign films.)
This is the beautifully filmed story of a young person's growth and maturation, discovering what's important to him in life - in this case, humanity, relationships, the glorious French countryside, and a simpler life - and learning to set aside the pains and scars from the past in order to allow himself an honest and honorable present and a future.
With yearning, I move on to the rest of my day.
