The documentary shows the world of freediving competitors. It captures the everyday lives of Miguel Lozano and Tewfik Blaoui, champions of this little-known extreme sports discipline who are fiercely fighting the limitations of their own bodies. They train intensely, prepare for competitions and make successive attempts to break records at breath-hold diving. The camera also accompanies them in sea depths showing the world of free divers without any censorship. Sometimes, their feats may have tragic consequences.
