Marius et Fanny
At Marseille’s Old Port, Marius works in his father’s bar but dreams of becoming a sailor. When Fanny, his childhood sweetheart, becomes pregnant, their families urge them to marry; she encourages Marius to go to sea, and he leaves. Fanny marries the older Honoré Panisse, who raises her son as his own. Marius returns and tries to win Fanny back, but she remains Panisse’s wife.
