Jean, captain of the ship L'Atalante, is quite content with his simple life at sea. His bride, Juliette, on the other hand, longs for the promises of the romantic city lights. An endearing classic of French cinema, this is Jean Vigo´s story about opposites, about peace versus ambition, and about the ongoing quest for satisfaction in the human heart.
