The Swallow and the Titmouse Synopsis
A bargeman, his wife and sister-in-law navigate the canals of northern Belgium in their two vessels, the eponymous "L'Hirondelle et la Mésange," taking the time to appreciate the sites and landscapes they encounter along their way. Like many in his trade, the mariner supplements his income by transporting occasional contraband. The tranquil rhythms of their nautical lives are interrupted, however, when they hire an ambitious new pilot.
Les travailleurs de la mer Synopsis
Part documentary, part fiction, this film evokes the world of fishermen, based on Victor Hugo's novel Les Travailleurs de la mer, focusing on the character of fisherman Gilliatt, in love with Déruchette.
"Les travailleurs de la mer" is currently leading in ratings, making it a stronger choice for newcomers to the genre.
