In a Norman fishing village in the second half of the nineteenth century, the Martin family lives by hard work, accustomed to loss and the dangers of the sea. The arrival of a stranger unsettles their established life and brings the past unexpectedly close. The story explores family duty, memory, responsibility, and the difficult choices faced by ordinary people when long-settled certainties are suddenly disturbed.
