Summary Indochina, 1931.  In the Gulf of Siam, a middle-aged mother is struggling to get by with her two children, Joseph and Suzanne, who are 20 and 16 respectively.  She has invested her entire fortune in a piece of land which is regularly flooded and therefore impossible to cultivate.  Her only hope is to build a sea wall to keep the waters at bay, and she devotes herself to this mad scheme.   When Suzanne attracts the attentions of Monsieur Jo, the son of a rich businessman, the family sees an opportunity to improve their lot...
