At the sea school

Synopsis

When you’ve lived in Britanny since you were a kid and you don’t like school, there is an obvious way out: the sea. Anthony is 19. He is the son of a farmer but he has no intention of getting stuck in the fields. He wants to take off and become a fisherman. He has enrolled in the maritime high school at Paimpol and is trying to get his professionnal diploma in fishing. He knows nothing of the sea and has everything to discover. Vincent is 20. He is looking for a summer job and dreams of becoming a lifeguard. He has to prepare for the examinations in swimming and lifesaving skills that he hopes will get him a job on the beach. Cécile and Cottin are just 17. They have decided to become sailors in the Navy. As the college doesn’t provide what they are looking for and they want a job right away, they are at the Ecole des Mousses in Brest. All of them are about to experience their first voyage at sea. But are they really cut out for that?
