Lambert, a former soldier of the Indochina war, has settled in Sainte-Luce-sur-Mer, a village on the St. Lawrence, where he spends his days walking the shore with Coré, an Indigenous woman. One day they find on the beach the mutilated body of a navigator from the Québec–Saint-Malo transatlantic race, still alive. Lambert carries the castaway, Palino, to his house and confronts him with the dark side of modern adventurers who risk their lives for glory, while his own memories of the war in Indochina come back to haunt him.
