Description:

Jacques and Enzo, lifelong friends, share a deep passion for free diving. Jacques was drawn to the dangerous sport after his father's death at sea and possesses an unusual ability to control his body in the water, almost like a dolphin. When Enzo convinces the reluctant Jacques to compete in a free diving contest – a challenge to dive deeper and longer without equipment – Jacques meets Johana, an intriguing American insurance investigator. This encounter forces him to choose between his love for the ocean and his feelings for her. The film blends romance, fantasy, and adventure to explore friendship, love, and sacrifice set against the stunning ocean.
