Synopsis
In a Mediterranean fishing village near Sète, two parallel narrative threads unfold without intersecting: the collective daily struggles of local fishermen facing health inspection bans, and an alienated Parisian couple wandering the docks debating the end of their marriage. Agnès Varda's foundational debut, edited by Alain Resnais, recognized as the true birth of the French New Wave.
