Jean de Florette (1986) and its conclusion Manon des Sources (1986), great 80s French movies, top notch cast you would even recognize in the US. Also Le château de ma mère (1990) and La gloire de mon père (1990). I haven’t watched the second pair since I was a small boy, but I remember being captivated.

A complete tangent is this Kurzgesagt video on YouTube where they consider the possibility that you will be every human and live every life. I can’t stop thinking about it. https://youtu.be/h6fcK_fRYaI
