Synopsis

Olivier lives a carefree life in Brussels. When he learns that he might go blind within the next five years, he wonders what he wants to see before his world is reduced to darkness: he needs to add pictures to the store of images he can recall afterwards. He then remembers his childhood dream of becoming veterinarian for whales. However, at the age of eight, he almost drowned and developed a big fear of water. He starts practicing freediving in order to overcome it and give himself the chance to make his dream come true. Five years later, he flies to the Maldives to freedive with Manta rays…
