What he discovers below the water’s surface is a totally alien motivation in the form of an unusually curious octopus. This beautiful record of an animal’s entire life was shot over a whole year and explores the habits and personality of a strange, undulating creature that most of us have only ever eaten. This film paints an immersive portrait of human-animal understanding, brimming with danger, drama, and devastating emotion. Recommended for ages 8+ general audiences.
