The Mediterranean, 1948. Jacques-Yves Cousteau lives with his wife Simone and their two sons, Philippe and Jean-Michel in a house by the sea. He and his friends invent scuba gear so they can breathe underwater, and dream of adventure and exploration. The couple decides to change their life: to finance his expeditions, Jacques-Yves finds a patron and buys an old boat that will become the Calypso. He sacrifices everything to devote his life to the ocean and its wonders, while his son Philippe, also impassioned by nature, chooses a different path.
