The Big Blue
Two men answer the call of the sea in this. Enzo and jacques really are a pair of friends who share a passion for the dangerous game of freediving, and that have been close since youth. Specialist diver Jacques opted to follow the footsteps of his father, who died at sea when Jacques was a boy. Into the bewilderment of scientists, Jacques harbors an amazing power to adjust his pulse and breathing pattern from the water, to ensure his vital signs more closely resemble that of dolphins than men (he even considers a school of dolphins as his extended family). Since Enzo persuades a reluctant Jacques to vie against him in a totally free diving competition -- determining who is able to dive deeper and longer without scuba gear -- Jacques matches Johana, a beautiful insurance investigator from America, and he finds that he has to choose between his love for her and his love of the sea.
