Synopsis

Marius works in his father's cafe on the Marseille waterfront but dreams of going away to sea. He has a dalliance with Fanny. Marius receives an offer to work on a ship that is going on a voyage for many years. Torn between his love for Fanny and his seafaring dream, he refuses the opportunity. But Fanny, realizing he will not be truly happy staying at home, decides to encourage him to leave by letting him think that she would rather be with someone else. Ultimately Marius leaves her to take a job as a sailor on a ship sailing the world.
