Mar 10, 1970 · 25m
After the mountain setting, after the tracks trodden by racehorses, Sebastian is traveling through a completely new landscape on the train that takes him to the sea. To Brittany, where he will meet an uncle, Captain Maréchal, whom he doesn't know but who has asked to see him. A carriage awaits him at the station, driven by a dignified, somewhat stiff woman dressed in black. The journey that will take Sebastian to Morsan, his uncle's estate, will already give him a glimpse of the strange, even fantastical, atmosphere that surrounds him. Clarisse, the lady in black who drives the carriage, does everything she can to ensure this: she speaks of misfortune, of souls that wander after death, particularly that of Joseph Thépahnie... The first contact with his uncle will be somewhat distant. The boy remains wary. The captain has chosen him as his heir.

As Sebastian prepares to spend his first night in his uncle's manor, he hears unsettling noises above his room. Contrary to Clarisse's discouraging words, who claims a ghost is visiting the attic, Sebastian discovers the source of the commotion: a friendly dog playing the harmonica. By day, the manor is much less ominous: Sebastian meets Lancelot, the horse his uncle has just given him. Through conversations with his uncle and the servants, the naive Sebastian gradually uncovers the secret surrounding the disappearance of the captain's wife and son.

Yet, every conversation brings back the painful memory of Claire and Gilles' disappearance.

During the Second World War, this boat allowed resistance fighters to reach England.

The local population is moved by the fate of the sailors and accuses Captain Maréchal, who refuses to relinquish command of the ship to the descendant of the man he believes is responsible for the deaths of Claire and Gilles.
