SYNOPSIS June 1816. The frigate Alliance, of the French Navy, seized off the coast of Senegal. As the boats available for evacuation are not enough to accommodate all the crew, a precarious boat is built in which 147 men are forced to board, leaving the raft to its fate. Hunger, the inclemency of the sea, madness and a fierce struggle are unleashed on that raft adrift. A horror that lasted days and days. Of those 147 men, only nine managed to save their lives. Among them were Savigny, a ruthless medical officer and Thomas, a rebellious sailor. Confronted, they live those facts showing different attitudes to survive. A scenario where they showed the greatest of cruelties and the sweetest of piedades.
