What happens

Mère Océan () est un documentaire français de Jan Kounen et Anne Paris, sorti en 2016. L'apnéiste Leina Sato est enceinte. Elle poursuit cependant son activité, nageant auprès de plusieurs cétacés qui semblent sentir la présence de l'enfant à venir. Pendant quatre mois, aux côtés de son mari Jean-Marie Ghislain, photographe sous-marin, les cinéastes l'ont filmée jusqu'à son accouchement. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
