Alice succeeds in bringing together on a sailboat the two men in her life, her father Philippe and her lover Marcel. What should have been but a short outing turns into a long excursion that ends, against Philippe's will, with a meal on the boat. Night falls and a storm breaks out at sea. A grueling struggle ensues, and the storm has separated the three of them. In the morning, Philippe is rescued by the crew of a cargo ship. He hallucinates and sees himself reunited with Alice and Marcel, and then is faced with the painful reality of the shipwreck. Philippe goes back to the city incognito for one last turn around the track before boarding ship once again to give himself over to the sea, in a last effort to come to terms with the memory of Alice.
