The Austrian freediver, Herbert Nitsch, defies the depths of the ocean and goes from one amazing feat to another. He has held the world record for freediving since 2007: - 214 meters! The British director Alexander Abela, who is also a freediver, shadowed him for many months while he trained, and also during international competitions in Greece and the Bahamas. In order to reach these extreme depths, Herbert draws on the breathing techniques of marine mammals and forces himself to do hours of training every day. At one with the sub-aquatic world, he is looking to go beyond Man’s limits rather than just break records. His dream is to go deeper than 300 meters!

Meeting Herbert Nitsch is not only an incredible adventure, it's also a scientific one. This holder of 33 world records is constantly pushing back the limits of the human body. However, this discipline is not without danger, and many accidents occur during competitions when decompression is not ensured. In fact, Herbert Nitsch himself suffered a serious decompression accident during his record-breaking dive in 2012, resulting in a stroke. The freediver fights a battle with himself to avoid asphyxiation. It's by adopting the techniques and reflexes of marine mammals that the human body can withstand the pressure of the ocean floor. By reaching a state close to falling asleep, the body adapts to this unfamiliar environment.
