This dream of a peaceful retreat materialises itself in the form of a neglected farmhouse in the South of France. However, before he is rewarded with the calm he craves, he is forced to endure the relative evils of dying olive trees and the rampaging mistral.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this pursuit of the tranquil, Bogarde manages to portray the simplest of issues in the most delicate and humane way.
