Mado returns to the tiny Breton island where she grew up in the hope of reconciling with her estranged father. She finds life in her village of Les Salants to be increasingly desperate, with floods and coastal erosion gradually destroying the homes and livelihoods of the people.
Meanwhile the villagers’ old rivals in the island’s other settlement of La Housinniere are doing very well from tourist income, helped by their beach. Never one to be defeated, Mado enlists the help of enigmatic foreigner Rouget to revive the fortunes of the village through fair means or otherwise.
