When Daniel Pinoche and his rowing crew hit the River Marne, their teamwork is tested by Gladys Lodje’s charm and rivalries flare. With Coach Drick cracking the whip, they must row past distractions and pull together to claim victory, proving that even in choppy waters, true champions stay afloat.

The film was part of a broader trend in French cinema at the time, which promoted health, sports, and camaraderie among youth, serving as an escapist narrative in the lead-up to WWII.
