Le Boulanger de Valorgue (1953)
Valorgue (Bouches-du-Rhône, 13), petit village paisible vit sous l'heure du 19ème Grand Prix Régional de cyclisme. Le favori est Justin Hébrard, le fils du boulanger Félicien Hébrard. C'est son dernier jour au village, car Justin part pour son service militaire, en Afrique du Nord. Il laisse au village sa payse courtisée, Françoise Zanetti, la fille de l'épicière Mme Zanetti, veuve d'origine Piémontaise. Neuf mois ont passé. Françoise donne naissance à un enfant : mais qui en est le père ? Mme veuve Zanetti sait que c'est Justin, le fils de Félicien. Elle le tient des lettres que les deux amants se sont écrites. Félicien, lui, soutient que son fils ne peut pas être le père. Le ton monte, les clans se forment, la moitié du village, soutenant l'épicière, se dresse contre l'autre moitié soutenant le boulanger qui refuse désormais de vendre son pain aux opposants. Plus de pain quotidien ? Oh fan de pied....
