The Plough (French: Le Grand Chariot) is a drama film co-written and directed by Philippe Garrel. Starring Louis Garrel, Damien Mongin, Esther Garrel, Lena Garrel and Francine Bergé.

In the director’s statement, Philippe Garrel said, “I wanted to make a film with my three children, since my children are aged 22, 30, and 38, I had to find a reason to bring them together at those ages.”
