Summary

A French naval frigate crosses the Atlantic, bringing supplies and medical care to the French fishing fleet off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. Onboard are three veteran officers whose lives are interlinked with the legendary Lt. Willsdorf. Willsdorf served in Indochina and Algeria and now helms a trawler fishing in one of the harshest environments on the planet. Through flashbacks, the frigate's dying captain (Jean Rochefort), ship's doctor, and chief engineer tell the story of the larger-than-life Willsdorf: a soldier who fought for a dying empire on two continents, tried to navigate from Vietnam to France on a rotting sailboat, survived captivity as a POW, and was eventually sentenced to prison for his role in a failed putsch aimed at keeping Algeria French
