Synopsis
In the early 1950s, on the banks of the Marne, 11-year-old François is curious to discover that his parents are building a boat in the small garden of their house, a replica of the sailboat built by famous sailor Joshua Slocum, and he begins to dream of adventure! A beautiful coming-of-age story, and a magnificent tribute by the filmmaker to his father.
