Provence, 1837. Wrongly accused of abusing Seraphine, his father Sosten’s new wife, Jean-Baptiste is banished forever from his childhood farmhouse.

According to TV Star:
“A beautiful adaptation of Françoise Bourdon’s novel Le mas des Tilleuls.” 3.5/5
According to Le Parisien:
“The tunnel of greenery, the rustling of leaves, the blossoming of patiently-picked limes… this international co-production smells of sunshine and a slowly stretching summer.” 3/5
According to Télé 7 Jours:
“This mini-series brings to life the sagas of the summer of the previous year. If the story takes place in the middle of the 19th century, its theme resonates with the current period: between the Montagnard rebellion that recalls the crisis of the yellow vests, the cholera epidemic that reminds us of Covid, the struggle of several women against an often violent patriarchy Against, the forerunner of modern feminism…” 3/5
According to TV Cable Sat:
“This romantic fresco has an old-fashioned charm, a magnificent natural setting and a beautiful cast. It’s enough to make you forget about the heavy writing and sometimes borrowed staging.” 3/5
According to Télé Loisirs:
“Adapted from Françoise Bourdon’s historical novel Le mas des Tilleuls, a charming and well-acted family saga.” 3/5
According to Telerama:
“Attempts to modernize the picture, with small anti-patriarchal, feminist, even environmental touches, don’t change much: the charm is dated, and the less humble will find this late-summer saga reeking of lime, lavender… .” 2.5/5
According to Western France:
“Dust, despite being a rich actor.” 1.5/5
