Profession: Conchylicultrice

Shellfish harvesters from the Marennes-Oléron basin (Charente-Maritime) testify to their living and working conditions: difficulties in the profession, distribution of tasks between men and women, advantages of co-detention, creation of an association to end their isolation and improve their status. Interviews and scenes of work at sea and at the “cabin” help to paint a moving portrait of courageous and energetic women.
