Jean, arrives in Le Havre, hoping to vanish from the world. Guided by a gentle tramp, he finds refuge by the harbour and meets Nelly, a young woman caught in her own quiet despair. As love sparks between them, Jean glimpses a chance at redemption. But fate is always close behind — and just as hope takes root, tragedy strikes.
