About

Childhood friends Jacques and Enzo share a passion for the danger of free diving. Jacques, following in the footsteps of his father, who died at sea when Jacques was a boy, harbors a remarkable ability to adjust his heart rate and breathing patterns in the water, with his vital signs more closely resembling those of dolphins than men.

Forget typical ocean adventures for a dreamlike immersion into the silent, rhythmic world of free divers. This visually stunning odyssey captures the magnetic pull of the abyss where the line between human and marine life blurs into nothingness.
