On the night the famous schooner L'Amanda Transport burned, Amanda Pedneault was born on Île-aux-Coudres. On this floating piece of land she inherited the courage of the women and sailors among her ancestors. Ready to risk everything for adventure, tossed by the waves of love and friendship, she chased several hares at once and wanted to live far away. Twenty years later, settled in Prague, married and a mother, Amanda wants to stretch her exile toward somewhere new. Under a confidential pact she decides to leave, with nothing to hold her but the story of her life, which she will give to her daughter, Sabina.
