Plot
The film is set in a marsh, along the banks of Loire river in 1918. Riton is afflicted with a bad-tempered wife and three unruly children.

Their daily life consists of seasonal work and visits from their two pals: Tane, the local train conductor and Amédée, a dreamer and voracious reader of classics.
