Synopsis:

The Smoking House : In 1972, Jean Gaumy took some of his first photos in a smoked herring factory in Fécamp. Particularly attracted by one of the workshops, that of the women who cut up the fish, he decided to make his first film with them. Some of them have been doing this tedious work for over twenty-five years. All of them are full of enthusiasm, full of a vitality that contrasts with the dirt and difficulties of their work. Jean-Jacques: Over the seasons and events in the village of Octeville sur mer, the director paints a picture of the friendly and warm ties that have been woven between the inhabitants and Jean-Jacques, a curious man with deep blue eyes, a character who must be beware of assimilating to the "idiot of the village" as he is so alive, vibrant, attentive and tender. Marcel : Priest : Jean Gaumy was Marcel Puech's student at the theological college at Aurillac. Puech is now a country priest in Auvergne. Gaumy's film recounts the priest's daily life, the sister he works with, against the background of a changing countryside.
