In this routine coming-of-age drama by Henri Fabiani, a young and not quite mature man runs away from his home and yields to a job offer in a shipyard, thanks to the friendship of one of the men who works there -- and the attractive looks of a young woman who works there too. Once he has a job, the restless fellow feels that this is not everything he wants in life and his arrogant attitude gets him a royal drubbing from the woman he admires. Mortified and remorseful, he climbs up to the top of a tall crane with ominous intentions -- obviously not the best reaction to a little criticism.
