Synopsis:

Jacques (Denis Podalydes), 38, goes on holiday to the island of Oléron with his four children. Tired of beach games, he breaks the piggy bank to buy a sailboat, which baptizes "Liberté-Oléron" and decides to go to the island of Aix, five kilometers away. Although incompetent sailing, Jacques tells his family that he is the only master on board.
