"Le Crabe Tambour" ("Drummer Crab") is the nickname for the mysterious central character, Willsdorff (Jacques Perrin), an Alsatian, whose doomed, out-of-date career is recalled through the tales of three naval officers currently serving aboard a French supply ship in the North Atlantic.
A haunting, introspective journey through fading naval careers and the ghosts of duty. It's a melancholic, atmospheric reflection on a life lived by outdated codes, told with quiet, lingering power.
