A young bargeman&#x27;s wife is fed up with her dreary life on the barge, &quot;l&#x27;Atalante&quot;. She takes off attracted to the bright city life, leaving her husband in deep despair, only to return to a cruelly disappointed woman. The quiet happiness of their life with Jules the old bargeman resumes its course.

"L'Atalante aborde en réalité un grand thème, peu souvent traité au cinéma, les débuts dans la vie d'un jeune couple, les difficultés de s'adapter l'un à l'autre, avec d'abord l'euphorie de l'accouplement (ce que Maupassant appelle "le brutal appétit physique bien vite éteint"), puis les premiers heurts, la révolte, la fugue, la réconciliation et finalement l'acceptation l'un par l'autre."
