Der Hafen : Roman

A breezy Breton village awakens under the salty haze of the sea, its cobbled streets echoing with the soft clatter of wooden clogs and the murmurs of a community caught between melancholy and quiet joy. Siblings Jeanne and Baptist drift through an evening of music, laughter, and fleeting tenderness, their lives intertwined with the rhythm of a piano and the mischievous presence of a speckled kitten that weaves between their fingers.

When their father’s sudden, terse entrance cracks the fragile peace, a subtle tension ripples through the household. Jeanne’s defiant piano pieces and Baptist’s sarcastic reflections hint at deeper fissures beneath the surface, while the sea’s persistent hum suggests forces both calming and unsettling. Listeners will find themselves drawn into a world where everyday rituals hide unspoken desires, and the simple act of playing a melody may become the first step toward confronting what lies just beyond the village’s tide‑washed borders.
