The story :

In 1912 in a small village in Lorraine, Harty wins once again the annual race organized by the Chairman of his foundry.

He wins a trip to Southampton to see the Titanic rig. In Great Britain, he meets Marie, a young woman who will work on the following day as a chambermaid on board of the liner.

She doesn’t know where to sleep. He lends her his bed. She quickly leaves a space at her side. In the morning, Horty wakes up alone, as the Titanic sails away.

Information :
The model of the film is made on a scale of 1/100ème (2,69 m) and comes from Italy (In case lovers of the Titanic find it, they would be very very kind to give me its references).

The inside part of the Titanic was filmed in a hotel in Rome (where is the similarity?), but which one, that is the question...
