In 1851, a famous writer, covered in honors but banished because of his antagonism to Louis Bonaparte's coup, sails to the Channel islands where he found refuge for 20 years. Here, on this rocky isle, this man became HUGO (no first name, like Shakespeare, Dante and Cervantes). Using Victor Hugo's writings and drawings and a complex treatment of image and music, this film retraces an adventure in literature and the human spirit. Homage, act of admiration, display of appreciation, this film is a startling fresco of images and sounds, a real drama that delves into a fabulous universe of the "man-ocean" with all the power of a dream. Hugo in the first person, both intimate and spectacular, an immense chronicler of the human soul.
