Synopsis:

A recent arrival to a fishing village in Normandy, Angèle comes with a past. Recently paroled from prison, she answers personal ads in an attempt to get her life back on track-if married, she can regain custody of her young son. However, the boy wants nothing to do with her, and her vain attempts at stability seem futile. When she meets Tony, a solid and hard-working fisherman with a kind heart, she tries to seduce him, though it's obvious she knows nothing about the type of love he seeks. He rebuffs her advances but offers her a job and a place to stay, even as he admonishes her coarse demeanor. Tony's decision creates tension within his family, yet he stands by his choice. And as his slow and steady approach thaws Angèle's cold heart, she soon becomes involved in Tony's life and that of the fishing community, taking part in the town's celebrations as well as its strife. In the end, Angèle et Tony is an unconventional love story about the transformative power of compassion.

Just out of prison, Angèle (Clotilde Hesme) has no husband, no home, no job. What she does have is a response to an ad she ran in the personals, and a very unlikely-looking candidate turns up to meet her. 'You need someone from the city,' he tells her, 'someone more like you. I'm a fisherman. That's what I do.' His name is Tony (Grégory Gadebois) and he lives with his mother on the coast of Normandy. Hefty in stature and short with his words, he's as blunt as she is imposing. He gives her a lift but then can't get rid of her, and while he pushes away her abrupt physical advances, faster than he can say 'No,' she's moved in at his home and has a paper in-hand proving she sells fish and 'uploads' for him. In fact she's happy enough to learn the difference between dogfish, sand dabs, and sole - and maybe not so happy to start gutting fish beside Tony's widowed mother. That woman is just beginning to find out, well before Tony, that Angèle is a widow, too, and hasn't told Tony about her past.

Angèle, a beautiful young woman with a past, arrives in a small fishing harbor in Normandy. She meets Tony, a professional fisherman, who finds himself attracted to her although he dislikes her blunt ways. Tony hires her as a fishmonger, lodges her and teaches her the tricks of the trade. The relationships between Myriam, Tony's mother, and Angèle are far from easy but the young woman gradually adapts to her new environment and little by little Tony and Angèle manage to tame each other...
