What happens

Le Pêcheur de perles è un cortometraggio muto del 1907 diretto da Ferdinand Zecca. Affascinato dalla visione di meravigliose creature che abitano i fondali, naiadi e sirene, un uomo si tuffa nell'oceano e si trova a camminare sul fondo del mare. Ad un certo punto, si trova davanti a un'ostrica gigante che si apre, lasciandolo entrare: per lui, ha inizio una strana avventura. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
