Sète, the port. Mr. Beiji, in his sixties, is tired and drags himself around the port's shipyard in a job that has become difficult over the years. A divorced father, he tries to stay close to his family, despite a history made of breakdowns and tensions, and financial difficulties. He is going through a difficult period. He wants to get out of this situation by creating his own business: a restaurant. However, nothing is less certain, because his insufficient and irregular salary is far from offering him the means of his ambition. This does not prevent him from dreaming about it, from talking about it, especially with his family. A family that will gradually bond around the project, which has become for all of them the symbol of a quest for a better life. Thanks to their sense of resourcefulness and their efforts, their dream will soon come true...
