Comme un poisson dans l'eau

The story follows Lucien Berlemont, who inherits a telescope and a sextant from his deceased uncle Paul. These gifts only deepen his aversion to the sea, prompting him to take illicit navigation classes at the age of 20.

Lucien's summer vacations in St-Lunac are marked by daydreams of the ocean, even as he faces distractions from Mr. Dumesnil's daughters. An unexpected evening spent locked up with Marie-Angeline leads him to a pivotal choice regarding his future and relationships.

With a cast featuring Philippe Noiret, René Lefèvre, and more, the film explores complex emotional landscapes and personal growth in the context of familial expectations and romantic dilemmas.
