Ici Normandie

On a sunday, Marguerite and Mario meet while waiting for the train.

In the industrial and maritime city of Le Havre, Soren and Karving, two 14-year-old friends, are passionate about fishing. In conflict with authority and failing at school, fishing has become their space of freedom and a unique way to project themselves into the future: more than anything, Soren wants to become a fisherman and Karving a fisherman-reporter. As the pressure of their exams mounts, and without their diploma they can kiss their dream life goodbye, they will have to compromise between their passion and reality.

In Dieppe, a small port town on the Normandy coast, stands a cabaret where Diva Beluga and her queens put on drag shows. The place survives thanks to the energy and the unshakeable faith of its team. Behind the parties and the glitter, struggles and resistances rumble. Welcome to The Bearded Siren.

At the age of 19, Violette Nozière was sentenced to death for parricide. Abused by her father, her voice went unheard. She was released in 1945. She married and rebuilt her life in Normandy. And she fought to clear her name without telling her children anything about her past. This film is an opportunity for them to search for their mother's words.
