De film speelt zich af op de nachtboot van Le Havre naar Portsmouth. De 16-jarige Thomas ontmoet daar de 30-jarige Alice, tot wie hij zich erg aangetrokken voelt. In het tijdsbestek van de oversteek laat de regisseuse de twee elkaar, ook op seksueel vlak, verkennen.
Nee, helaas is Brève traversée nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
