1809, A deserted island in the middle of the Mediterranean. 5000 men and 21 women abandoned to their fate. The poignant destiny of Héloïse. In 1809, during the height of the Napoleonic Wars, 5000 soldiers from the defeated Napoleonic army, following the great battle of Bailén, are deported to the island of Cabrera in the Balearic Islands, believing they are being repatriated to France. To survive, they face insufficient rations of fresh water and food, and precarious shelters they build themselves from branches found on the island. Among them are 21 women, including Héloïse, an eighteen-year-old canteen worker who has just lost her husband on the journey. While the war has already wounded the men, the despair of captivity drives them to madness. Fortunately, Henri, a surgeon in the army, takes Héloïse under his protection. Amidst deprivation, epidemics, and storms, the dead accumulate, hope diminishes, and Héloïse only thinks of escaping this hell... until the arrival of new prisoners and Louis, who will change everything. Will Héloïse manage to save herself through tenacity? Because if love is a voluntary captivity, the sea has already made her a prisoner...
