The story centers around the lives of several fishermen, including young Sylvestre and his big brother, Yann, navigating their relationships, the harshness of their maritime existence, and their connections to love and home. The opening of the novel vividly depicts a group of five fishermen gathered in their cramped quarters aboard the fishing vessel Marie, sharing laughter and stories late into the night. The atmosphere is one of camaraderie and simplicity, contrasted with the looming darkness and treacherous sea outside. Through their interactions, we glimpse their personalities and the tensions between the wild, free-spirited Yann, who dreams of marrying the sea, and the more innocent, tender-hearted Sylvestre, who yearns for a simple life of love and family. As they prepare to fish under the midnight sun, the narrative hints at deeper emotional currents regarding love, duty, and the stark realities of life as fishermen in a harsh, unforgiving environment.
