Our take
An environmental thriller with an international cast that includes Cécile de France, our guest of honor. An unidentified underwater entity suddenly rebels against mankind and the thoughtless way it treats the oceans. Tackling the theme of ecological disaster, this series, produced by the Alliance, takes a stand on the collective responsibility of our societies and delivers a powerful and crucial message.
