You Will Be My Son (French: Tu seras mon fils) is a 2011 French drama film directed by Gilles Legrand, starring Niels Arestrup and Lorànt Deutsch.[2][3] It was written by Legrand, Sandrine Cayron, and Delphine de Vigan and released in France on August 24, 2011.

Plot

Arestrup plays Paul de Marseul, a passionate and demanding winemaker unsatisfied with the prospect of his son, Martin (Lorànt Deutsch) taking over his vineyard. He dreams of a more talented one, and finds him in the shape of Phillipe (Nicolas Bridet), the son of his steward, François (Patrick Chesnais). de Marseul lavishes attention and praise on Phillipe, all the time degrading Martin's achievements, eventually inviting Phillipe rather than his own son to attend his investiture in the Legion d'honneur.

Reception

Le Figaro gave the film three out of four stars and called it "a great vintage".[4]
