Based on L’aventure du pilote by Anatole Le Braz, this is a Christmas story from Brittany. On Christmas Eve, it is said that fishing is forbidden: Christmas must be a family celebration. But Gwenael has decided otherwise and sets out with his friends for the most miraculous catch he ever experienced. But the overladen boat begins to sink. There almost seems to be an extra passenger on board... Who is it? A ghost? Death? Ankou, a legendary Breton figure of Death? What can be done to escape this threat? Ah! If only Gwenael could remember his grandfather’s words...
