In 1946, Jacques Cousteau leads his son Philippe into the waters of the Mediterranean. Thanks to a diving suit made especially for him, the boy is able to breathe underwater for the first time. Ten years later when Philippe, now grown, reunites with Jacques on board The Calypso, he discovers that his father has changed. Now a worldwide star, Jacques travels the world embarking on one increasingly megalomaniacal project after another.
