Horty works in a French shipyard loading and unloading cargo. His life has always been monotonous and sort of grey. But he does not mind. For him that is just the way things are, until the day he wins a contest so see the departure of the Titanic from Southampton to New York, He is not particularly excited about the trip but the fact that he will spend one night in a hotel and be served a hot meal by a waiter, changes his mind. Those are exotic new experiences for him. During this trip he will meet a prospective maid who was hired to work in the vessel. She, with the effective power of her beauty will unintentionally, change his perception of the world, showing him how love can rise within us at any time. It only requires a little help of our imagination. Armed with this weapon, Horty becomes a storyteller who enchants multitudes describing his fictitious love encounter, unspoiled by time and the persistent game of stealing happiness which we humans have perfected in extreme degrees.
