A quiet, grounded drama of two guarded people slowly learning to trust, set against the grey rhythms of a fishing harbour.

Directed by: Alix Delaporte
Genres: Romance
Starring: Clotilde Hesme, Grégory Gadebois, Evelyne Didi

Overview: Angèle, a beautiful young woman with a past, arrives in a small fishing harbor in Normandy. She meets Tony, a professional fisherman, who finds himself attracted to her although he dislikes her blunt ways. Tony hires her as a fishmonger, lodges her and teaches her the tricks of the trade. The relationships between Myriam, Tony's mother, and Angèle are far from easy but the young woman gradually adapts to her new environment and little by little Tony and Angèle manage to tame each other.
