Marius’ biggest fantasy is to attempt a few of those ships passing by his daddy’s pub also to put off into some faraway land. Fanny, a new and pretty fish peddler, has been in love with Marius since her childhood; Marius, never admitting it, has always loved Fanny. One day, a sailor drops by La Marine and offers him a job on an exploratory ship. Trying to hold him off and to make him jealous, Fanny confesses his love to him and provokes a fight between Marius and one of César’s old friends, Panisse, a boat merchant, who despite his old age, has been courting Fanny for a while. Torn between the call of the sea and his love for her, Marius abandons his dream to be Fanny who gives herself to him.
