Decades before settling in a quiet Breton village, Abbé Maurin was a young priest traveling to China. On the deck of the Minerve, he encounters Marie, a woman of haunting beauty carrying a scandalous secret about a cruel husband and a forced exile. But just as their spiritual connection deepens, the treacherous winds off Cape Guardafui turn their voyage into a nightmare. This is a melancholic tale of a priest’s singular brush with romantic love and the shipwreck that left him the sole witness to a woman’s final sacrifice.
