Plot Synopsis

Based on the true story of two scuba divers accidentally stranded in shark infested waters after their tour boat has left. The shimmering blues of wide expanses of sea are offset by dazzling underwater photography, yet the mood remains bleak. And while no special effects, abrupt developments, or abrasive gore are present here, the film instils such fear that viewers will be frozen awaiting the surprising conclusion. A day at the beach will never be quite the same again…
“A masterclass in bracingly intelligent back-to—basic film-making.” – The Guardian
