On her husband's boat, battered by winds and sea spray, Chiara takes out the traps filled with enormous crabs, cleans the deck, pilots… It's been twenty years since this Belgian, played by Cécile de France, followed her husband to Noirmoutier (Vendée) and that she threw herself body and soul into the demanding profession of fisherwoman. In exchange, the island community adopted her. At least, that's what she believes.
Because a big grain of salt is going to come and derail this life that she loves. Chiara succumbs to the charm of Maxence, their young apprentice (Félix Lefebvre). The wind rises and the islanders will throw the adulterous woman onto the opposite shore…
