The Big Blue
Two men answer the call of the ocean in this. Jacques and Enzo are a pair of friends who have already been close and that share a passion for its sport of freediving. Specialist diver Jacques opted to follow in the footsteps. Into the bewilderment of scientists,'' Jacques harbors an amazing ability to correct his heart rate and breathing pattern at the water, so that 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 at a completely free diving competition -- ascertaining who is able to dive deeper and longer without scuba gear -- Jacques meets Johana, a gorgeous insurance investigator from America, and he finds he must choose between his passion for his love of the ocean.
