What if educators embarked out-of-school children, some of whom already have a foot in delinquency, for a trip on a catamaran? This was the initial idea of Varante Soudjian and his co-author. It amused themextract these young people from their environment and see how they could react to the sight of the sea once the mask falls off.
When they introduced the idea of a former BAC cop skipper, the film was found. Because indeed, the latter tells the story of Alex and Stéphanie, both neighborhood educators who decide to take 5 out-of-school teenagers to crossing the Mediterranean and reintegrate them by the values of the sea. But arrived at the port, they meet Riton, their skipper, a former cop of the BAC, who left everything to flee the suburbs. These young people are his worst nightmare.
The educator who lacks authority, the assistant educator who takes matters into her own hands, the gruff former cop for whom these teenagers are just lost, and these young people who are also victims ofpreconceptions on this former policeman… All find themselves forced to embark on the same boat for a 15-day sea trip.
