\n“In his directorial debut, famed actor Daniel Auteuil fills THE WELL-DIGGER’S DAUGHTER with grand romance, light comedy and superb performances, making a “love story of surprising joy” (Minneapolis Star Tribune). A heartwarming family drama that will make you laugh and cry in equal measure, THE WELL-DIGGER’S DAUGHTER “is the kind of film they don’t make anymore, only here it is.” (Kenneth Turan,\u00a0Los Angeles Times).<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nWATCH NOW<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
