‘Slocum’ recounts the memories of the young François, growing up beside the Marne river
in the late 1940s. One day François’ stepfather starts building a boat in the back garden.
Meanwhile the boy’s imagination is inflamed by the diary of Joshua Slocum, the first man
who circumnavigated the world alone in the 1890s…
