In July, 1982, Guy Michel, the son of Emma Lepalud dies at sea, which was however that day "a sea of oil". Three days before, Emma buried her mother. Depression stuns him for 8 years. His doctor advises him to drown his grief in the work. She takes back the bar, which her mother left for her inheritance, in the village of Kérity. Emma works every day, all year long. The friends of her husband, fisherman guilvinec ("he did not like Saint-Ford") and friends of his son come to the bar, and make his reputation as a lively and warm place. Evenings are going well. This Friday evening, a party "sex on the beach" is scheduled. Young people come specially from Quimper for the occasion, to celebrate a bachelor party boy. Quickly, we meet Pédro or Anthony. René, who lives only a few meters away from the bar, knows Emma well, but they did not see each other then "at least 20 years old". He tells us all about it, as well as the death of his wife, Dolores, 4 years ago, and he does not recover. "The pain is excruciating."
Further on, on a beach car park, an old motorhome seems parked for a few days. Inside, it smells like wet dogs. This is Goliath, the huge mastiff that Pascal collected 5 years ago, after he was abused. Pascal spends the winter in the corner, "but in the summer, there are too many people", so he moves somewhere else, sometimes at Pendreff camp.
