Movie description:
Brothers Martin and Simon, not yet teens, are incorrigible vandals; Martin runs away from reform school, Simon from foster homes, and they always find each other in a seacoast town of Lignan, where their destructive behavior is infamous. (It may date to their mother’s leaving the family.) Martin is philosophical, romantic, and poetic: he dreams of being the son of a shark; he holds tight to a book about goldfish his mother gave him. In both halting and wild ways, he tries to court Marie, a neighbor girl. Simon, with a pocketknife and an intractable will, seems more dangerous to others. What, on earth, is there for these children-becoming-men?
How did the whole thing start? If you want to know why Simon and I took off from the old man’s place, why we sleep rough on the beach and raid stores, why »mother« left, and all about that mix-up with Marie, don’t expect me to tell you. The less I think about it, the better I feel. However, I can tell you why a goldfish never turns on a curve like everyone else. It just swims along and then, all of a sudden, zip, it turns, on the spot. Zip! ... Why do I know that? Because I’m Martin Vanderhoes, the shark’s son. And to understand that, you have to suffer a lot, and dream a lot too, because people who don’t dream, well they just as well might be dead ... Right, Simon? Stop yapping and start the movie. Open the goddam curtains!
