  1. 1. Le Peuple De La Mer

    A compassionate portrait of a Breton fishing community, following generations of men and women whose lives are shaped by the sea—its bounty, storms and mysteries. Through vivid scenes of work, superstition, love and loss, the narrative explores the resilience, solidarity and fatalism of coastal people as they confront nature’s violence and the slow encroachment of modern change.
