The story

A man is shot twice on the deck of a ship, during a heavy storm at night. The injured man plunges into the Mediterranean Sea, eventually washing ashore in a fishing village off the coast of Southern France. Two fishermen take him to the local doctor, a retired surgeon, who nurses him back to health.
