A deserter arrives in Le Havre, shrouded in both the port’s mist and his own inner fog. Among outcasts who offer him shelter and a fleeting love that seems to promise a new beginning, he navigates a world where nothing is as it seems. With Le quai des brumes, Marcel Carné, in collaboration with Jacques Prévert, created a cornerstone of French poetic realism, a prelude to masterpieces such as Daybreak, Children of Paradise and Les Portes de la nuit.
