This made-for-TV film is particularly interesting.Script writer Serge Martina often recalls Jean Giono,the great pacifist writer .

Located in the luminous splendid landscapes of the Provence ,"Permission Moisson" introduces a family who came to France because of the poverty of their native Greece.The father,Darius ,feels indebted to France and it is only natural that his sons must leave for Algeria to fight for their new homeland.One of them comes from the war on "harvest furlough" (that's what the title means) to help his family on the farm.But his brother,who has been studying in Paris for some years and who has met there an activist who has become his lover (and pregnant by him) rebels against the establishment and takes to the bush.But the worst is yet to come.

This is a lovely work, which seems to tell us "imagine all the people leaving life in peace" .

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
