English:
Isaac is a struggling but gifted painter in pre-revolutionary France. With pressing financial troubles and a strong-minded fiancée, he takes a temporary job as a naval painter on a ship delivering supplies to the New World. This is the simple beginning to a not-so-simple tale, for things are not quite what they seem. The boat is not out on a short cruise, but a lengthy and dangerous expedition led by Captain John the Pillager, a successful and charismatic pirate possessed by a touch of madness to rival Herman Melville's Ahab. With his sights set firmly on the South Pole, Captain John hopes to discover endless riches and lay claim to his place in naval history. Blain complicates his tale by making it more than Isaac's story; it is also the tale of Isaac's fiancée, Alice. Left behind in Paris and struggling to make rent, she finally lands a good job only to find herself fending off the sexual advances of her aristocratic employer.
