Synopsis

1832, Périgord : Benjamin and Marie are two childhood friends. Benjamin's father is a merchant sailor on the Dordogne River.

One day he says to his son: « When you're 13, I'll take you with me. » He keeps his promise and Benjamin becomes a sailor like his father. But in that circle, you have to be wary of everybody and of what they live for: the Dordogne.

Doing that job was Benjamin's dream, but could that dream become a nightmare? Fights with merchants and sailors sometimes finish off quite uglily. Will he be able to stay loyal to his friend Marie, or will his nightly 'rendez-vous' with Emeline Lombard, daughter of the rich merchant on whom they depend, separate them?

Cast
gollark: Go where?
gollark: Some places are not accessible from it, such as one random classics room only reachable by a slightly hidden staircase from Ancient History.
gollark: My school is mostly arranged as a single somewhat bent line, so there's one very overly busy corridor (well, two, there are two floors) from everywhere to everywhere.
gollark: This is inaccurate! Cells do not "care" about anything and should not be anthropomorphized like that!
gollark: You can always* use my highly good** Minecraft server.
