A young woman arrives on the Paris train at the port of Sète, where she is met by her husband who grew up there. Not sure whether she wants to continue their marriage, she has come to talk it through.

Exploring the Fishermen’s Quarter

As the couple wander around the fishermen’s quarter, the film shows the life of its inhabitants. The women look after their homes and their children, one of whom falls ill and dies. The men in small boats follow their ancient trade, perturbed by pollution of the lagoon where they catch shellfish.

Challenges and Celebrations

The authorities try to stop use of the lagoon, with one young fisherman being arrested and jailed. He is let out, however, for the annual regatta, at which the whole town turns out to cheer the jousts. Boats row past each other and, from a platform at the prow, a man with a lance tries to tip his opponent into the sea. The jailed man does so well that the father of his sweetheart gives him permission to woo her.

Decision and Resolution

Through the happy crowds dancing in the street, the Parisian couple walk to the railway station, having decided to continue their life together.
