Generally, British and French trawlermen only rarely rub shoulders. If ever they meet, at the whim of ports and tides, they might gruffly exchange a few words. Thus, the "meeting" of Jean-Pierre Salaün and Richard Wiseman has a "historic" feel.
Brussels quotas, unauthorised competition for the market, the increasing scarcity of the catch. Richard finds reasons to continue in his religion, while Jean-Pierre takes to dreaming of a trade other than that which has been handed down in his family for over seven generations.
Even if the future remains cloudy for those whose make a living from the sea, Jean-Pierre and Richard manage to loosen the "sailor's knot" through this "Vis-à-vis".
